Building Youth Employability through Skills (BYETS) 

The Building Youth Employability through Skills (BYETS) project will empower Bangladeshi youth with improved technical, employability and entrepreneurial skills, and connect them to income generating opportunities: jobs and self-employment. BYETS will partner with Training Service Providers (TSPs), government, industry, and employers to create a conducive environment for the targeted youth that would facilitate employment opportunities for them.

The Project

Nearly 30% youth in Bangladesh are not in education, employment, or training (NEET). Youth unemployment rate in Bangladesh is also comparatively higher than the national unemployment rate. The project aims to support youths by providing training in three sectors: Readymade Garments (RMG), Agro-processing (AP), and Information and Communication Technology (ICT). The project offers opportunities to collaborate with on-going initiatives of the Government of Bangladesh (GoB), other donor-funded programmes and Dutch-based companies and academia.
