The project would support the Borrower's program for increasing the supply of skilled manpower through the expansion of training and upgrading opportunities for school leavers and adults in response to employment needs; institutional improvement in planning, managing and coordinating skill training is also supported by the project. It would consist of: (a) construction, furnishing and equipping of seven vocational centers and one apprentice center and extensions to fifteen existing centers. The proposed institutions and extensions will create 3,600 new places for training skilled manpower with annual outputs of 5,400; (b) re-equipping of five existing centers with a view to improving the quality of training; and (c) technical assistance to assist in the establishment of a long-term strategy for the development of vocational and apprentice training.
