In partnership with our clients, we apply collective action research to ask what does and does not work in workforce design and development. We seek innovative ways to achieve value for money and to leverage scarce donor funding through the private sector to create shared value partnerships in order to achieve positive social and economic impact.

We design and manage the delivery of technical and vocational education and training programs linked to industry and sector demands and underpinned by effective workforce development policy, planning, and research. We develop nationally accredited, competency-based systems frameworks informed by labor market analysis and skills mapping and assessment. We liaise with industry and other partners to create employment pathways and deliver employability skills that lead to job placement.

We support clients on long-term journeys to improve workforce development performance. We help diagnose systemic challenges and identify high-impact, tailored strategies that offer the best value for money.

We build our clients’ capacity for strategic, participative change that enables growth and adaptation in response to workforce development challenges. We offer targeted strategies that underpin effective learning, leadership, change management, reform, and renewal. We have pioneered insightful monitoring and evaluation approaches to understand emerging human resource development priorities and assess our contribution to developmental change, allowing us to better support partners, governments, and stakeholders.
