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.
