🌍 Boosting Skills, Jobs, and Productivity in Africa 🌍 Yesterday, NTU International A/S attended the EC Conference on Skills, Jobs and Productivity in Africa, which marked the launch of the Africa's Development Dynamics 2024 Report, bringing critical insights into the need for skills development across Africa. Key highlights included: 📈 Investing in Education: Skills development is crucial for unlocking Africa’s vast potential, with education investments boosting learners' earnings and reducing poverty. 💡 Addressing Skills Gaps: African nations must focus on tailored strategies to match changing job market demands, taking into account the region-specific characteristics and unique opportunities. 🌱 Private Sector Collaboration: Programs like the Global Gateway and VET initiatives emphasize the importance of opportunity- and demand-driven skills, aligning education with real job opportunities to combat youth unemployment. The future of Africa's productivity hinges on strategic investments in education, bridging the skills gap, and fostering inclusive policies. #AfricaDevelopment #SkillsForJobs #EducationReform #SustainableGrowth

Han er stor i udlandet, men stort set ukendt herhjemme. Men hans resultater taler for sig selv. I hjertet af Aalborg med udsigt til fjorden har Lars Bentzen bygget en virksomhed med 150 ansatte og en årlig omsætning på over 100 millioner kroner. Hele verden er hans arbejdsplads. Han møder tidligt og går tidligt. Og mens de fleste oplever Lars Bentzen i jakkesæt og slips, har han sit eget frirum, hvor påklædningen - og arbejdsopgaverne - er noget helt andet. På Nordjyske Erhverv dyrker vi historierne om landsdelens erhvervssucceser og menneskene bag. Også de mere ukendte af slagsen. Her er en af dem. Oplåst link i kommentarfeltet 👇 📷 Bo Lehm

Det handler om at få mennesker til at arbejde sammen, så det gør en forskel. Det er erhvervsmanden Lars Bentzen personlige motivation og drivkraft. Og den blev i 2007 afsættet til at droppe fuldtidsjobbet som lobbyist i Bruxelles til i stedet at satse på sin egen enkeltmandsvirksomhed, NTU International A/S.  I dag gør virksomheden med 150 medarbejdere en forskel i udviklingslande kloden rundt som international konsulent og ingeniørvirksomhed. 170 projekter er det efterhånden blevet til - lige fra en opbygning af Zambias luftfartsdirektorat til det seneste projekt, som skal forebygge at unge bliver radikaliserede. Som Lars Bentzen udtrykker det: Når man bygger noget op, som fungerer og folk begynder at tro på det samfund, de befinder sig i, så undgår de borgerkrig. Læs mere om erhvervsmandens virke i linket 👇

We are pleased to announce that NTU International A/S, in collaboration with Econoler and Rina, has been shortlisted for the “Ukraine & Moldova TA for Financial Inclusion & Recovery (UMIR)" project. This initiative, part of the EIB's EU4U Support Package, focuses on promoting responsible financial inclusion and strengthening the resilience of the financial sector in Ukraine and Moldova.

Under this component, adapted and customised TA actions will be designed for each FI based on the results of the TA needs assessment and the weaknesses identified. Support can include but not be limited to the provision of staff/board trainings, (on the job) coaching, support in revising and updating policies, procedures etc. and may touch on a variety of topics. c) Ensure assignment beneficiary compliance with EIB processes and requirements as well as international standards. d) Capacity building and advisory services to support development and growth of MSMEs.
