CEMETS iLab Nepal

The CEMETS iLab Nepal is the first country-specific institute offered by CEMETS. Its ultimate goal is to build capacity among Nepal’s own TVET leaders so that the sector can continue to improve.

Supporting TVET reform

The iLab connects current research and evidence on TVET systems to the Nepali context. It delivers impact through online course content, live virtual events, and in-person events.

Teams also collaborate directly with experts from ETH Zurich and Kathmandu University during workshops. These aim to improve and support reform efforts and ensure successful implementation.

The second cohort is currently underway. We look forward to seeing the innovative ideas and collaborations the teams will develop!
