Sharing a very special Swiss Development Day at the annual 2017 Swiss Development Corporation Conference in Lausanne focused on Jobs, Vocational Education and Training with some terrific Burkinabe brothers Sylvain Simpore, Ambroise Tapsoba and Issa Campaore.

Good for developing countries to look at the very successful Swiss model which integrates theory and practice, with students working, directly into the secondary school curriculum in collaboration with employers.

Institutions matter too as a bedrock for VET and Switzerland has some of the strongest and most stable institutions as I pointed out in my speech at the #DDCSECO17
