Job creation

What does it measure? This indicator measures the number of full-time equivalent jobs created by the different TVET providers (partners and WHH). Applicable for activities promoting interventions to create employment. This indicator counts all types of employment (i.e. self-employment and wage employment) created with assistance of partner organizations and / or WHH during the reporting year, or in previous years and continued into the reporting year. Why is it important? The aim of training programs is to enable participants to earn their own living through employment and/or self-employment. The goal is that the employment following the training generates sustainable income. This indicator is intended to capture the differences in short-term or seasonal employment.

Method: If the project lasts less than one year, then the data should be collected as a routine monitoring form that is collected from all participants during project closeout. If the project lasts more than one year, then the data should be collected every six months as a routine monitoring form. If the project reaches more than 2,000 participants in total, it is recommended that a representatively sampled survey is used.

Questions:

1. (Self-) Employment status of the graduates after graduation
2. If graduate was (self-) employed during taking part in training activities ask for changes in time scope of employment status (full or half time)
3. Time scope of the job

How to calculate:

1. Total number of hours in the past 12 months, participants employed (>160 hours per person).
2. The value of this indicator is the number of participants employed > 160 hours (nominator) divided by the number of participants graduating from the training courses (denominator).

A full-time equivalent job (FTE) equals 12 months or 260 workdays or 2,080 hours. Thus, a job that lasts for 4 months (688 hours) should be counted as 1/3 FTE and a job that lasts for 6 months/130 work days/1,040 hours should be counted as 1/2 FTE. Number of hours worked per day or per week is not restricted as work hours may vary greatly.  

Example: One person worked for 3 hours a day for 30 days in the reporting year, a second person worked for 4 hours for 90 days in the reporting year, a third person worked for 3 hours a day for 200 days in the reporting year, and a fourth person worked for 5 hours a day for 180 days in the reporting year. In this example, we will not count the first person as s/he worked for 90 hours in the reporting year which is less than the minimum requirement of 160 hours. The three people worked for (360+600+900) =1860 hours which is 1860/2080 = 0.89 FTE. 

What activities should the indicator be used for?

• TVET Training offers
• Entrepreneurship programs
• mentoring and Post-training support
• creating of market linkages (linkages to labor market, financial institutes)
• ...

Disaggregate the data by gender, trade/profession and specific vulnerable groups, such as minorities or people with disability.
