This document presents the project results of the 'Kyrgyz Republic: Vocational Education and Skills Development Project'. Since 2008, more than 30,000 students in 25 schools have learned new skills in tailoring, hairdressing, mechanical engineering, carpentry, welding, and other areas under the ADB-supported Vocational Education and Skills Development Project. Placement rates are high: 85% of 211 budding seamstresses in one recent class were immediately hired by private companies upon graduation. A follow-on initiative, the Second Vocational Education and Skills Development Project, is building on this work to expand access to programs in rural areas and strengthen schools’ financial viability.
