Description
The Industry-led Skills and Workforce Development (ISWD) Project aims to improve the linkage between market-demanded skills and the supply of Georgians with technical skills relevant to the local economy. Investments to support TVET are necessary to address industry demand for skilled technicians and to reach potential beneficiaries who may not have the opportunity to obtain further education and training.
The four activities under this project are designed to:
- run a competitive process to solicit and fund innovative, industry-driven proposals from Georgian TVET providers for establishing new or
expanding/improving existing training programs, to meet industry needs (Task 1: Competitive Program Improvement Grants);
- strengthen TVET provider practice by identifying, strengthening, documenting, disseminating, and promoting uptake of best practices
across the sector (Task 2: Strengthening TVET Provider Practice);
- strengthen national policy with respect to industry engagement in the Georgian TVET sector (Task 3: Strengthening TVET Sector Policy);
- develop and host an annual TVET conference (Task 4: Annual TVET Conference).
