Skills for Employment Investment Program (SEIP)

PKSF is implementing the Skills for Employment Investment Program (SEIP), jointly funded by the Government of Bangladesh and the Asian Development Bank (ADB), to engage jobless and backward youths in sustainable employment by providing market-driven technical training. PKSF, having previously completed the first and the second tranches of this project, started the implementation of the third tranche of SEIP in July 2021. A total of 12,000 youths will be imparted technical training three 3-month courses on on 15 regular trades through Partner Training Institutes (PTIs).

Apart from regular technical training courses, 3 specialized training programs and employment arrangements were launched in 2022 and are being carried out to impart training to 400 persons with disabilities (PWDs), 600 orphans and abandoned youths (OAYs) and 1,800 youths on caregiving trade. As per the project terms, employment of 60 percent trained youths must be ensured the PTIs.

Regular Training Program:

As of 30 June 2022, 4,535 trainees have been enrolled in 15 trades through 29 PTIs. Among them, 3,141 have completed training on different trades and 1,646 of them have already found employment. PKSF is working to train the remaining individuals and help them secure employment.

Under the first, the second and the ongoing third tranches of the project, the total number of youths to have been enrolled, certified and employed in various professions at home and abroad are 28,351, 26,579 and 19,010 respectively.

Specialized Training Program:

In the third tranche, an agreement was signed between PKSF and the Skills Development Coordination and Monitoring Unit (SDCMU) at the Finance Division, Ministry of Finance, on 21 December 2021 to launch training and employment programs for persons with disabilities (PWDs). Later, PKSF signed grant agreements with 2 PTIs (CRP in Savar and DRRA in Satkhira) for training and job placement of PWDs. Another agreement under the specialized training program was signed between PKSF and SDCMU on 13 January 2022 provide training and ensure employment opportunities for the orphans and abandoned youths (OAYs) of the country. Four PTIs (SDS in Shariatpur, MAWTS in Dhaka, SOS in Dhaka and RRF in Jashore) of PKSF are already on board to conduct the training.

Considering the need for old age and nursing services at home and abroad, another agreement was signed between PKSF and the SDCMU on 17 February 2022 with the objective creating skilled caregivers and appropriate employment opportunities for them.
PKSF will implement the caregiving training programs through 13 PTIs.

Background of the Project

PKSF, over the years, has gained in-depth understanding and valuable experiences on the multi-dimensional aspects of poverty and acknowledge the fact that Bangladesh is well-placed to benefit from the demographic dividend up to 2050 and this belief in the contribution with effective policies and markets could trigger faster rates of economic growth and human development. Thereby, accept as true that human resource plays a vital role in the knowledge economy and working population and it is becoming an increasingly important factor for the performance of individuals, organizations and whole economies. However, the up gradation of skill-based labor market due to rapid technological and organizational change is one of the major threats for the low skilled workers in Bangladesh, as they are being unable to adjust their skills according to the market demand. In this context, PKSF has agreed to implement the ‘Skills for Employment Investment Program (SEIP)’ project and signed the MoU with Finance Division, Ministry of Finance, Government of Bangladesh (GoB) on 7th May 2015 for Tranche-1; 26th May, 2018 for Tranche-2 and 24th December, 2020 for Tranche-3 to ensure training and employment for the disadvantaged people of the country so that they can develop their living standard sustainably. Due to the hardest hit of the pandemic “Covid-19”, Tranch-3 was delayed for one year to begin in full swing. PKSF has been ensuring demand driven skill-development training among the disadvantaged people under the SEIP project with a view to create productive self and wage employment.

The Finance Division of Ministry of Finance, the Government of Bangladesh (GoB) is working as the Executive Agency to implement this project. The Finance Division has established ‘Skill Development Coordination and Monitoring Unit’ (SDCMU) to execute the project. In cooperation with SDCMU, PKSF has been implementing the aforementioned project. Asian Development Bank and Government of Bangladesh are jointly financing the project.

Goal of the Project

The goal of the project is to develop skilled workforce through skills development training and therefore placing them in productive self and wage employment that will improve their sustainable livelihoods.

Objectives of the Project

The main objectives of the SEIP project are as follow:

  • Impart skills training linked to gainful wage or self-employment through PKSF partners and selected training institutes;
  • Increase access for targeted poor (both male and female) people to market responsive skills development training programs;
  • Ensure job placement of the trainees after training, etc.

Expected Results

It is expected that 20% income of the trainees’ House Holds (HHs) will be increased after receiving training under this project.

Outcomes

Increase the number of skilled workers in priority sectors around the country.

Outputs

Produced around 33,917 skilled and semi-skilled workers under Tranche-1, Tranche-2 and Tranche-3 by April, 2023.

  • At least 60% of the total trainees will be employed after training and retained in respective jobs for three months.
  • The ratio of wage and self-employment of the employed trainees will be approximately 60:40 of 60% total trainees.

Major Dimensions/Tasks of the Project

SEIP entails three major tasks viz.; selection of appropriate trainees, selection of renowned and efficient training institutes for providing quality training and job placement of the passed-out trainees, which are equally important as well as very challenging for the successful implementation and goal achievement of the project.

  • Selection of Appropriate Trainees:PKSF has been selecting the trainees through its Partner Organizations (POs) from their organized group members under inclusive financing and development program. Trainees’ selection has been finalized after conducting screening test and viva voice through the POs and respective training institutes. Potential Trainee’s age 15 or above are being selected from the partner organizations of PKSF or Training Institute’s catchment area where project will bear all expenditures of trainees except only 10% of the accommodation and food cost to ensure effective participation. Initiatives have been taken to encourage participation of the people with disabilities, ethnic minority and female trainees. Moreover, special focus has been given on selection of trainees for caregiving training program which PKSF has launched in 2022 under T3.
  • Selection of Qualified Training Institutes for Providing Quality Training:PKSF selected renowned training institutes functioning in Bangladesh to impart market responsive inclusive quality training. PKSF has been ensuring delivery of standard courses for each training/trade course through the selected training institutes. The course structure is comprised of required compulsory and elective components, theoretical and practical requirements. Practical and theoretical contents of the course-curricula are the ratio of 80:20.
  • Job Placement of the PKSF-SEIP Graduates:Respective training institutes ensure job placement of the graduates within 3 months of training completion. The job placement unit of the training institutes ensure the following issues: i) preparing database of the relevant industries; ii) developing linkages with the employers; iii) disseminating training outcomes to the employers; iv) organizing job fair and dialogue with existing/potential employers; v) identifying job vacancies in industry and preparing trainees for interviews; v) preparing documents that show wage/remuneration before and after training to indicate value addition of training in case of up skilling and vii) assisting the implementation of Trainees Tracking System.
