Consulting for TVET & skills development

Practical consulting solutions for education, TVET & projects – with smart use of AI.

I support development partners, ministries and education providers in designing, implementing and evaluating TVET and skills development programmes – and, where useful, enhance this work with AI-supported tools for analysis, drafting and visualisation.

How I can support your work

I work along the entire project cycle – from early ideas and concept notes to full proposals, implementation support, AI-assisted analysis and independent evaluations.

Design & proposals

Project development & proposal writing

Support in developing sound project concepts and complete proposal packages that meet donor requirements – enriched, where helpful, with AI-generated drafts and structures.

  • Competency-based curricula & modules
  • Train-the-trainer concepts
  • Blended & e-learning formats
  • Training materials & manuals
  • Use of AI tools for drafting, examples & visuals
Evidence & learning

Monitoring, evaluation & AI-supported analysis

Design of M&E systems and implementation of mid-term or final evaluations, combining qualitative and quantitative methods with careful, transparent use of AI tools.

  • M&E frameworks & indicators
  • Qualitative & quantitative analysis
  • Interviews, focus groups & field visits
  • AI-assisted coding of transcripts & documents
  • Clear reports & learning workshops
Approach

Structured, transparent and collaborative

Good consulting is a joint process. I work in a structured way, keep you informed throughout and deliver results that your team and partners can actually use – whether or not AI is involved.

1

Free introductory call

We clarify objectives, context and expectations. Based on this, you receive a transparent offer outlining scope, timeline and fees – plus how AI-supported tools could (or should not) be used.

2

Analysis & design

Depending on the assignment, this may include document review, stakeholder interviews and short online workshops. AI tools can support tasks such as summarising, structuring or clustering information – always with human oversight.

3

Drafting & iteration

Drafts (e.g. proposals, curricula, M&E concepts, reports) are iteratively refined with your team. AI-generated text is used, if at all, as a starting point – never as a black box, and always adapted to your voice and standards.

4

Delivery & follow-up

You receive clear, well-structured documents and, if needed, support in presenting them to decision makers or partners. We can also reflect on how AI-supported workflows worked and improve them.

Remote and on-site – combined when useful Many assignments can be delivered efficiently in a remote setup. Where it adds value, I combine this with short on-site missions – for workshops, training sessions or field visits.

About

Expertise in TVET, skills & AI-supported workflows

I have worked for more than 20 years in the fields of vocational education and training, skills development and international cooperation – in assignments for and with development partners, ministries and education institutions.

My work combines analytical depth with practical feasibility: concepts should not just read well, they need to work in real TVET systems – for learners, teachers, companies and partners on the ground.

Where it makes sense, I complement this with AI-supported tools – for example for research, drafting, transcription or qualitative analysis. The goal is never to replace professional judgement, but to free up time and attention for what really matters.

Regions Projects in Southeast Asia, Europe and Africa – remote & on-site.
Focus areas TVET, skills development, training design, M&E, AI-assisted analysis.
Working style Clear, structured, reliable – with an eye for both detail and the bigger picture.
