ADB is
extending a US$30 million loan for a nationwide program to raise the quality of
technical and vocational education and training (TVET) in Cambodia leading to
more job opportunities for women and the poor.
According
to the press release, specific measures include support for the establishment
of a competency-based assessment and certification system, including the
development of flexible pathways between different qualification levels and
types of training. The program will also introduce a quality assurance system
for TVET institutes and establish an instructor apprenticeship program for
public TVET teachers to gain industry experience. Sector skills councils, made
up of industry associations and large employers in four priority sectors –
construction, auto mechanics, electrical works and manufacturing – will be
established to help develop centers of excellence.
The Government
of Cambodia will provide cash and in-kind contributions totaling US$2.6
million, for a total investment of US$32.6 million with an estimated completion
date of December 2019.
