Designing an Inclusive Skills Development Programme
Authors : TVET Reform Project in Bangladesh, Project Team, ILO
The TVET Reform Project is an initiative of the Government of Bangladesh (GoB). It is funded by the European Union (EU) and executed by the International Labour Organization (ILO) in partnership with government agencies. Bangladesh is the eighth most populous country in the world which presents an immense opportunity in terms of labour force. TVET is essential in ensuring the country’s competitiveness in the global labour market and ensuring decent work for all.
The ILO’s TVET Reform Project in Bangladesh is working on methodologies for enabling access of underprivileged groups to technical and vocational training courses. The pilot programme described in this case study is an important step in encouraging government and employers to consider the rights of persons with disabilities. The ILO’s overall objective is decent work for all and programmes such as this demonstrate the benefits of integrating persons with disabilities within mainstream development efforts. This programme also aims to simultaneously reduce other barriers to inclusion such as negative perceptions to disability, confidence and leadership capacity of persons with disabilities.
