Case Study: Gazipur Technical School and College: Industry-driven skills training for the RMG sector

One of the first public institutions in Bangladesh to replicate a model for employing underprivileged people in the readymade garments sector, Gazipur is using a collaborative approach to ensuring the success of trainees. Underprivileged students are recruited with the help of CARE, financially supported by Far East Knitting and IDLC, trained off the job by Gazipur TSC and then trained on the job by Far East Knitting. They are then employed by Far East and also a selected group of local employers.
