USAID launches industry-led skills development program in Georgia

BAKU, Azerbaijan, August 5

Tamilla Mammadova – Trend:

United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has launched the USAID industry-led skills development program in Georgia, Trend reports via Georgian media.

As reported, the USAID-funded Industry-led Skills Development Program is a five-year initiative designed to create pathways between skills training and high-value employment opportunities, reducing unemployment and catalyzing sustainable economic growth across Georgia.

Implemented by the International Executive Service Corps (IESC), the Program will work to incentivize businesses in high growth industries to systematically engage in innovative skills development, and skills training providers to implement high quality training programs aligned with labor market demand and extend access to their offerings throughout Georgia.

Training programs will target underrepresented members of society, including residents of rural communities, women, and ethnic minorities.

“Through this initiative, we will empower Georgians to not only find employment, but to thrive in a dynamic economy. At the same time, we will transform how we work with businesses and industry groups, partnering to establish new programs that connect Georgian workers with today and tomorrow’s job opportunities, and Georgia’s businesses with the highly-skilled candidates they need,” said USAID Mission Director Peter Wiebler.
