Access to training

Access for all to good quality education, vocational training and workplace learning is a fundamental principle of social cohesion and economic growth. Some groups of people may require targeted attention if they are to benefit from education, training and employment opportunities.  

This is particularly the case for disadvantaged youth, lower skilled workers, people with disabilities, and people in rural communities. The attractiveness of vocational education and training is enhanced when combined with entrepreneurship training and when public policies encourage utilization of higher skills by business.

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.
