Project duration: July 2018 – December 2018
The Skills Development Project (SDP) is implemented under the ADB Grant (USD 20 M) and Government of Nepal (GON) fund (USD 5 M) which supports the GON to develop a market‐responsive and social and gender‐responsive Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) system by: (i) expanding the number of basic‐ and mid‐level, market‐ oriented training opportunities; (ii) increasing the quality relevance and efficiency of TEVT provisions; (iii) improving coordination and regulation of the TVET sector and (iv) improving the capacity for effective project management and monitoring and evaluation. A key priority of the project is to match the skills being learnt by TVET trainees with the needs of both the domestic and international labor markets. This tracer study will only focus on output (i) expanded provision of market‐oriented training opportunities, and specifically the sub‐output which will provide in total 45,000 short‐term training places in level‐1 and level‐2 training programs, for unemployed or underemployed people, at least 40% of whom will be women and at least 30% of whom will be from other disadvantaged groups. Following are the final outcomes of short term training formulated for output (i):
By 2018, at least 75% of graduates are gainfully employed six months after training (of graduates, 40% are women and 30% from disadvantaged groups).
By 2018, employer satisfaction with TVET graduates increases to 70%. Till 31 March 2017, total 20661 participants (6916 or 33.47 % women
and 14260 or 69.02 % disadvantaged group) have completed the basic skills training in market demanded occupations. The training programs are provided by Public schools and Private Training and Employment Service Providers (TESP). In the first round five TESPs were contracted for 14040 places in level‐1 training programs. Likewise, MOU was signed with 19 CTEVT constituent public schools to deliver level 1 skill training and employment services for 6000 places. Similarly, MOU was signed with 17 CTEVT constituent Schools and 14 TECS Schools to deliver level 2 skills Training and Employment services for 3580 places. For the second round of skill training through private sector TESPs, six TESPs have been procured and contracted for 17300 training places.
