Why TVET Education is Key to Bangladesh's Future
Technical and vocational education is one of the most powerful tools for reducing unemployment and poverty in Bangladesh. Here's why we've made it a cornerstone of our work.
Bangladesh has one of the youngest populations in South Asia, with over 30 million young people between the ages of 15 and 29.
The Skills Gap Problem
Despite strong GDP growth, Bangladesh faces a persistent mismatch between the skills the labor market demands and those young people possess. Many graduates find themselves unable to secure employment not because jobs don't exist, but because they lack practical technical skills.
TVET as a Solution
Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) offers a direct bridge. Unlike traditional academic curricula, TVET focuses on practical, job-ready skills: carpentry, electrical work, IT, garment production, healthcare assistance, and more.
