The Skills and Knowledge for Inclusive Economic Growth program, supported by the Asian Development Bank (ADB), aims to enhance the training capacity and quality of 16 educational institutions, consisting of 14 prestigious colleges and 2 universities specializing in information technology education. This initiative involves comprehensive investments in training equipment, with the objective of fostering innovation and development among the beneficiary schools. By actively involving disadvantaged groups and the community in vocational education, the program strives to create an inclusive learning environment.
Through the project, the recipient schools aspire to become high-quality institutions within the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) system. They aim to establish self-sustaining mechanisms to meet the growing demand for skilled human resources in the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. This project underscores the significance of adapting to the transformative changes brought about by the Industrial Revolution 4.0, and aims to equip students with the necessary skills and knowledge to thrive in the evolving economic landscape.
