Opportunities from State House Seychelles / Ministry of Employment and Human Resource Planning

The Ministry's Pre-vocational Unit administers the Skills Development Programme for young people who need a practical route into employment, including school dropouts, single parents and people who did not complete studies at a professional centre. Training lasts 6–18 months depending on the career area. The January 2026 Cabinet reform increased intake, introduced micro-credential pathways through Recognition of Prior Learning, aligned training with priority economic sectors, revised allowances to incorporate transport support and outsourced soft-skills training. The Ministry's current registration page remains applicant-facing and lists the documents needed to register.

The January 2026 Cabinet-approved reform sets Skills Development Programme eligibility at ages 15–20. The programme is designed for young people needing employability and workplace skills, including school dropouts, single parents and people who did not complete studies at a professional centre.
