Moritz Schmidt
Senior Technical Advisor, Colleges and Institutes Canada
I am an experienced and adaptable project manager, passionate about using skills training in emerging economies to support poverty reduction and economic growth.
My ten-year journey working in the skills development and vocational training world began in Canada and has taken me around the world. I believe that addressing underemployment and unemployment through skills training is the most effective and enduring way to bolster economic empowerment and youth employment.
I have significant experience leading international TVET programmes and am especially skilled in developing and operationalizing projects in accordance with organisational goals. Whether working with governments, NGOs, industry partners, or educational institutions, I effectively engage all stakeholders in project goals to ensure support throughout its lifecycle. I understand the challenges and opportunities of skills training in emerging economies and have the project management skills and adaptability to achieve success in any situation.
