Job Context:
∎ Project Brief: Since 2022, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), in collaboration with the Center for Natural Resource Studies (CNRS) and other partners, has been implementing a vocational skill development program for the Rohingya Refugees residing in the camps of Cox`s Bazar and Bhasan Char. Originally known as the UN Joint Program for Skills Development (JPSD) and also referred to as Improving Skills and Economic Opportunities in Cox`s Bazar (ISEC), this joint program aims to provide vocational training and enhance economic prospects for the beneficiaries. CNRS is responsible for delivering Level-1 vocational training in various fields including Agriculture Crops Production (ACP), Concreter, Solar (PV) System Installation and Maintenance, Community Health Worker (CHW), Caregiving (Aid to Midwifery and Nursing), and Small Engine Mechanic (SEM). The selection of beneficiaries for the vocational training and wage-earning opportunities is based on prequalification criteria that consider the needs of the labor market in Myanmar and the camps of Cox`s Bazar. The overarching goal of the project is to empower refugees by equipping them with transferable and portable skills that are relevant to the labor market demands in both Myanmar and the camp environments. This will not only support their sustainable return and integration into Myanmar when conditions permit but also enable them to maintain hope for the future and lead dignified and productive lives within the camps. To achieve this, refugees are encouraged to engage in a range of activities within the camps, including multi-sectorial endeavors, minor livelihood pursuits, community works, and utilizing their acquired competencies. The Economic Mobility Pathways Pilot (EMPP) program has been launched during the last quarter of 2023 to enhance labor mobility and empowerment for Rohingya refugee graduates who successfully complete the Level-1 certification courses. 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 aims to improve employability, increase labor mobility, and promote economic empowerment among Rohingya graduates.
