Within FAO project “upgrading the technical agricultural education system in Lebanon”, in collaboration with ILO and the Ministry of Agriculture (MOA), the Consultation and Research Institute (CRI) conducted in December 2019 this tracer study targeting agriculture graduates from Baccalaureate Technique in the Agriculture (BTA) and Short-Term Courses (STC) for the cohorts from 2016-2017 and 2017-2018. Preparation, field work, and initial analysis were completed in May 2020. This tracer study reviews the employment outcomes of graduates from the agricultural TVET programs, and the extent to which graduates have found employment that allows them to apply the skills acquired through their trainings. This will complement existing studies, e.g. the ILO study on supply and demand in agriculture (2018), and will provide inputs in the work of the Ministry for increased market relevance of its training programmes. More specifically the findings of this study will contribute to the following project objectives: 1) Recommend a policy framework for skills and supply development in the agriculture sector with the private sector; 2) Review the upgraded curricula in the technical schools; and; 3) Propose new skills courses based on the identified trends in the market (demand side).
