Description

The proposed project will help the government improve the employability, productivity, and income of its working-age population by enhancing the states capacity to supply high-quality, market-responsive skills training. These training programs are in line with the states development strategies in priority sectors such as manufacturing, construction, and services (e.g., healthcare and automotive). The project design incorporates emerging national and international good practices, including lessons learned. These lessons include (i) linking training programs with employers before training begins, (ii) incentivizing the private sector to develop a sustainable training model for the manufacturing sector, and (iii) investing in quality assurance systems through knowledge partnerships with national and international knowledge partners.
