Transport Training initiative

• TTi is a non-profit organisation and a network that aims at improving human capacities in the transport sector of Developing Countries. 
• The idea is to train transport experts in their motherland using national and international training institutes, teachers and appropriate curricula. 
• The main focus is sustainable transport

 The main challenges are

• High demand for skilled personnel in administration and private sector,
• training institutions missing or having difficulties in satisfying the demand,
• brain drain of skilled experts, and
• inadequate career entry after university.

 TTi activities cover  

• Review and improvement of transport training curricula at training institutes,
• implementation of training programs and modules,
• exchange programs for lecturers and students,
• internships and trainee programs,
• training near the job or on the job,
• targeted, problem-solving research programs and
• international cooperation and networking.

 Network members may be

• Northern and southern training institutions,
• private companies working in the field of transport in Developing and Industrialised Countries,
• public and private donors,
• public administrations in Developing and Industrialised Countries,
• NGOs and interested private persons.

 The Secretariat has the following  tasks
