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.
