Introduction

Sudokkho is a 7-year skills training market development programme, funded by DFID and SDC. Directorate of Technical Education (DTE), Government of Bangladesh is the executing agency of Sudokkho. The programme is implemented by Palladium International in a consortium with Swisscontact and the British Council. Sudokkho provides technical assistance for setting up market-driven, quality skills training systems within the Readymade Garments (RMG) and Construction sectors with investment from key stakeholders such as employers, private training providers and trainees. The programme’s target is that 110,000 poor people, including women and disadvantage populations, will earn increased income in skilled or semiskilled jobs after successful completion of relevant and quality training.

Sudokkho builds upon the TVET reform agenda in coordination with the Directorate of Technical Education (DTE) of the Ministry of Education (MoE). The Government of Bangladesh (GoB) supports initiatives that facilitate greater involvement of the private sector to ensure skills training is relevant and of high quality, thereby increasing post-training employment opportunities, as stipulated in the National Skills Development Policy 2011.
