In partnership with

Skill for employment program was established in Nepal with the loan assistance of Asian Development Bank (ADB). Implementing agency of this project is council for technical education and vocation training (CTEVT) in cooperation with cottage and small industries, cottage and small industries development board and department of labor and employment promotion. Its goal is to reduce poverty by increasing engagement in wage and international employment, and self-employment.

Currently, opportunities for income generation in Nepal are in self-employment and international labor markets where Nepalese workers are in demand. However, Nepalese lack the necessary skills to take advantage of these opportunities, to be more competitive locally, and to engage in self-employment activities. Access to skills training is limited, especially for the poor, women, Dalits (low caste), and disadvantaged, and the quality of skills training is variable and often not linked to market needs. The Project aims to improve access to employment or self-employment for women, socially excluded Dalits, and disadvantaged groups, as well as poor socioeconomic groups in general.

For years to come this country’s economic growth will depend upon economic miracles everywhere. Thanks to Skill employment program funded by ADB, is working with local institutes to render the skills required to the people of Nepal. Other international organizations have also shown interest in the development of human resources here in Nepal. Some of the associates who are working with ADB are DFID, Helevetas, SDC and international labor organization (ILO). With their funding’s Associates Synergy Nepal is running vocational training for Nepalese students across our strategic disciplines. Our venerable partners are so delighted with the development impact of skills for employment that we are further planning these programs for thousands of students in the coming years. The need of infrastructure update is due to meet the high demand of the skill employment programs.

We at Synergy Nepal have earmarked the construction, hospitality, service and IT industries as strategic and we believe in providing training with incentives. These incentives have come in the form of employment opportunities within and beyond Nepal’s borders. We are developing policies to ensure employment to those skilled workers in and out of the country. We have partners in South-East Asian countries and Middle East, and even the International labor organization has assisted us in delivering programs needed to compete in the International Labor market. We have plans to secure our place in Australia, Canada, South Korea, Japan and many other developing countries where the need of skilled employees are increasing rapidly.

We are grateful to receive ADB’s commendable assistance and we believe we can further nurture ourselves for the betterment of the Nepali individuals as a whole.
