Skills gap analysis in Aceh: from reconstruction to sustainable growth through skills development
The foremost objective of the analyses in this paper is to identify skills that are currently short in supply but that are: 1) in increasing demand because of the development of specific economic sectors; 2) necessary to realize the regional development plan; and/or 3) helpful in improving the productivity of informal workers and alleviating poverty.
This paper analyzed a skills gap in Aceh from the view point of tapping into economic growth potential in a sustainable manner. It examined economic sectors, the development plan and skills demand at the community level to gain insight into skills demand in the near future. Labour market analysis and qualitative research complemented the skills demand analyses. The paper then compared the anticipated skills demand against the current supply of skills training identifying the gap in which skills development policy intervention is most desirable.
