Access to Skills / Vocational Training
The programme encourages individuals planning to migrate for employment, as well as returnee migrant workers intending to re-migrate, to participate in skills development training. Such training enables migrant workers to enhance their efficiency and stability at work, broaden their opportunities and benefits, and reduce work place related risks abroad. Information on available skills development opportunities is disseminated through MRCs, community orientations, and the mobilization of returnee volunteers. MRCs also refer potential migrant workers to skills training programmes organized by the National Academy of Vocational Training (NAVT) and FEB. Drawing on its experiences in implementing vocational skills training, the programme further supports NAVT in developing relevant policies, procedures and curricula, as well as in strengthening institutional capacity to deliver foreign employment targeted skills training.
