Thematic Priorities of HUNAR SAAZ
Promoting youth employment in different regions requires skills development in line with the current and emerging demands from the world of work. Hunar Saaz Project focuses on the following themes.
Hunar Saaz project aims to develop capacities for an effective collection and use of information on skills needs, and turn them into relevant policy actions and programmes. Together with our partners in the countries engaged in the project, we aim to facilitate policy makers and key stakeholders in skills development of the youth in coordinating robust mechanisms for skills forecasting, and developing appropriate programmes to enable the youth to take advantage of the opportunities that lie ahead.
Our Project also focuses on improving the status of work-based learning in the region and supporting countries in mainstreaming entrepreneurship skills development and workplace learning modalities, through the provision of policy recommendations and development of dedicated guidelines and materials. The project seeks to build upon international evidence of work-based learning’s benefits in raising enterprise’s productivity and innovation, better career development and improved youth transition.
Digitalization is increasingly influencing labor markets, job profiles and the way countries envision their education and training systems of the future. As part of Hunar Saaz , we aim to enable digital skills development that equips the learners to respond to emerging demands of new sectors, new jobs, and coping with the impact of technology on existing jobs.
While one of the main goals is to prepare students for their participation in the labour market, many technical training institutes have poor linkages to the world of work. Hunar Saaz Project reinforces mission of mainstreaming entrepreneurial learning.
As part of Hunar Saaz, we are developing a regional mapping of innovative experiences in supporting entrepreneurship, and sharing guidelines to further bolster such initiatives in the region.
The skill-development scheme will utilize digital trends to offer vocational and education training to individuals. Moreover, we will also open technical centers to facilitate the youth.
Our target is to benefit 80 percent youth of the country where they would get job and business opportunities after getting skill-based training.
