Context:
Centrall Asia, roughly 30 per cent of the workforce is employed in agriculture. The processing of food for sale is therefore an essential component of economic growth. As a result, young people with suitable training are needed in the food processing and logistics sectors, such as in the procurement, storage and distribution of raw materials. The demand for qualified experts and managers also extends to the logistics industry across all countries of Central Asia. This is the case for agriculture, transport and industry as a whole.
Objective:
ties of the TVET systems in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan to train the qualified experts and managers needed for economic growth areas have been developed.
Approach:
With the support of the ICON-Institute and other implementation partners, the project works to:
- Introduce international quality standards in TVET
- Provide workers with improved labour market guidance and involve the private sector in
TVET
- Establish dual approaches in TVET, i.e. combining theory with company-based practice.
