Project Brief:

• Since 2022, the organization has been implementing a vocational skill development program for Rohingya Refugees in Cox`s Bazar and Bhasan Char. The program, known as the UN Joint Programme for Skills Development (JPSD) or Improving Skills and Economic Opportunities in Cox`s Bazar (ISEC), aims to provide vocational training and improve economic prospects for the beneficiaries. The organization is responsible for delivering Level-1 vocational training in various fields including Concreter (CON), Solar (PV) System Installation and Maintenance (SM), Caregiving (CG), Small Engine Mechanic (SEM) and Bakery and Pastry Staff (BPS). Beneficiaries are selected based on prequalification criteria that consider the labor market needs in Myanmar and the camps. The project`s main objective is to empower refugees by equipping them with transferable skills that meet labor market demands in both Myanmar and the camp settings. This will support their potential return and integration into Myanmar and enable them to have productive lives in the camps. To achieve this, refugees are encouraged to engage in activities such as multi-sector endeavors, minor livelihood pursuits, community works, and utilizing their acquired skills. The Economic Mobility Pathways Pilot (EMPP) Programme has been launched during the last quarter of 2023, then it was known as Complementary Pathways Programme (CPP), which become known as the Language and ICT Training, aims to enhance labor mobility and empowerment of Rohingya refugee graduates who successfully complete the Level-1 certification course. According to the plan of UNHCR, competent graduates from all trades carefully selected through a rigorous and holistic assessment process will get the opportunity to get this additional course support from 2024. The initiative focuses on providing additional life skills training, including English language proficiency, `work ready` cultural orientation, and fundamental ICT skills. The project overall aims to provide skills development training, improve employability, increase labor mobility, and promote economic empowerment among Rohingya graduates.
