The project has initiated a series of initiatives for improved private sector engagement in skills delivery: a) partnership with Bangladesh Employers Federation (BEF) to support industry institute linkage and partnership, b) set up incubation center and c) set up local level employers forum in the towns where MTIs are located. The MTI level Institutional Management Advisory Boards (IMABs) are being set up to ensure private sector representation in training needs assessment and job placement.

title:

Engage more intensively with the private sector. The private sector is the main recipient of skilled workers and needs to be given more attention both in policy orientations as in skills needs identification and skills development planning. Skills need to be market driven and a lack of engagement with the private sector could jeopardize the efforts of the project. Regional model institutes should have a platform with the local Chambers of Commerce or other dominant sector associations so that whenever possible, the concerned institutes can tap the need of the skilled workers in the area by training them appropriately in the TVET institutions.
