Starting strong at the Energy Access Investment Forum (EAIF) 2025) in Kampala, Uganda, from 8 - 10 April 2025.

It’s our first regional exchange, and we’re stepping into one of the most relevant spaces for our work - bringing together renewable energy investors, private sector players, and policy actors under one roof.

At EAIF, we’re hosting a targeted workshop with around 140 participants.

The focus? Creating real links between the skills sector and private companies in renewable energy. We’re looking at how vocational training can better align with the jobs being created in this fast-growing field and how to make those connections more efficient, inclusive, and sustainable. That’s what Pillar 2 of this TEI is about: supporting public-private collaboration and regional dialogue that leads to opportunity-driven skills development.

EAIF gives us the perfect opportunity to promote the TEI OP-VET approach, start conversations that matter, and engage with key actors like GET.invest, ARE, and Team Europe partners. This isn’t a one-off, either. EAIF is just the starting point. It marks the launch of a series of regional exchanges that will position the Opportunity-Driven VET approach at the heart of green investments and sustainable job creation across Africa.

TEI OP-VET Pillar 2 is officially in motion. And Uganda is just the beginning. #TEIOPVET #EAIF2025 #SkillsForJobs #GreenEnergy #TeamEurope #GlobalGateway #RenewableEnergy #VET #PublicPrivatePartnerships
