title:

Recommendation 9: Ensure that training activities are more mainstreamed at the factory level. Data gathered through interviews with managers and factory workers showed that high turnover remained prevalent in the Ethiopian garment and textile sector. As a result, training activities undermine sustainability as factory workers (and other key staff) who receive the training could leave the factory in search of better opportunities. As a result, there is a need to mainstream training at the factory level. This could be achieved by training a wider set of employees working at the factory and ensuring that all new employees (regardless of their seniority) receive knowledge relating to the training activities. This can be achieved through modules when new employees join the factory as part of their training process. Similarly, staff who received training could become trainers themselves by passing on their knowledge to their colleagues. Thus, if trained staff were to leave the company, then there would be others who would be able to provide training activities. Advocacy efforts among factory managers/owners should be undertaken by ILO staff, on why these training activities, especially for new employees, are necessary as they might not be aware of medium and long-term benefits provided by the training activities.
