Retraining Labor Public Employees

cancelled

The overall goal of this project is to contribute to the modernization of Peru's civil service. The specific objective is to assist the government in designing and implementing a service for relocating public sector employees affected by the modernization of the civil service, helping them either to find new employment or to start a small business of their own. The program will have three components: (i) design and implementation of a business information and job referral system; (ii) design and implementation of employment training programs; and (iii) design and implementation of a program to provide options for those wishing to start a business of their own. The benefits to be derived from the proposed operation will include: (a) the business information and job referral information system which will continue to benefit Peru beyond its immediate use by displaced public sector employees, and (b) the strengthening of Peru's private training and business assistance services as a result of the increase and diversification of demand for these services.
