Many developing member countries (DMCs) of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) suffer from a shortage of qualified workers. Technical and vocational education and training (TVET) and skills development often provide a slow, inflexible, inadequate, and inefficient response to the needs of labor markets. This good practice guide supports ADB's education sector staff and other planners in their dialogue with governments and other stakeholders of education in the DMCs aimed at analyzing the TVET sector and its directions. The publication highlights strategic questions and presents investment design issues, including the strengths and weaknesses of different forms of training and financing. It discusses the lessons learned from ADB's experiences in the sector and their implications for future TVET projects. Checklists provide a practical tool for evaluating proposed investments.
