The goal of the project is to create a better-trained, more competent workforce and opportunities for poor men, women, and youth to earn a better living. The project promotes the development of technical and vocational education and training programs that meet the needs of businesses. It aims to increase the number of students and trainees enrolled in education and training programs, including students and trainees from poor backgrounds, and the employability of graduates from these programs. The project includes: (1) strengthening the quality and relevance of training in selected public and private training institutions; (2) financing pilot initiatives to better link schools and training institutions, businesses, and the government, in order to expand and improve the training opportunities available; and (3) strengthening the knowledge and skills of key government bodies responsible for managing and overseeing technical and vocational education and training, particularly in the areas of curriculum development, instructor certification, and quality assurance.
