Career Technical Education and Workforce Alignment in Mauritius – Current State and Areas for Growth
BnA IQ- Research
Mauritius has invested heavily in education and skills—but are those investments landing where the economy actually needs them?
Bridging Skills and Opportunity offers the most comprehensive, evidence-based examination to date of how Career Technical Education (CTE) and workforce demand intersect in Mauritius. Drawing on national labour-market data, institutional mapping, and international benchmarks, the report exposes why youth unemployment and skills shortages persist despite low headline unemployment.
The study goes beyond diagnosis. It identifies where vocational provision remains anchored in the legacy economy, where emerging sectors—digital services, health, renewable energy, blue economy—are structurally under-supplied, and why existing funding mechanisms fail to reach SMEs and priority occupations. Crucially, it sets out a clear, implementable reform agenda for policymakers, training institutions, employers and development partners.
This is not a promotional paper. It is a decision-grade policy document intended for those shaping Mauritius’ human-capital future.
