Community Training Programs
The community training programs takes skills trainings to the community level. Persons in a particular community are trained on a particular vocation in their community.
It is organised around two complementary components: Promoting access to short-term vocational training through a scholarship system supported by organizations as a part of their corporate social responsibility and improving the quality of vocational training and involvement of the private sector.
The impact includes development of a skilled workforce, with macroeconomic effects on labour productivity and growth; development of public-private dialogue to create a better match between the training offers and the labour market’s need and equal access to training and employment, especially for women.
