WST 2026: connecting women’s skills with economic participation

Programme development

UKAS’s report dated 23 September 2026 highlights the graduation of 50 Women Vocational Skills Training participants. It also describes a training approach that includes digitalisation, entrepreneurship and financial management.

From skills to markets

Product-making skills can be complemented by explaining offers, taking photos and handling enquiries. An editorial suggestion is to choose one product, provide clear ordering information and review costs before promotion.

Connection with women’s empowerment

Training that fits daily routines can help participants build more organised economic activities. Individual outcomes vary. Check JWKS for current entry requirements, locations and schedules; a graduation report does not mean a new intake is open.
