Thereby, cooperation with the private sector is key. Gender equality serves as a cross-cutting topic and plays a crucial role in all focus areas. SKYE II Target groups are TVET students, job seekers (unemployed and underemployed), who are given access to demand driven TVET and the labour market measures in the following states: Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Edo, Enugu, Lagos, Ogun and Plateau.
