South Korea's development agency signed a partnership agreement with Bangladesh's manpower bureau to enhance technical training programs. The Korea International Cooperation Agency collaborated with the Bureau of Manpower, Employment and Training on Sunday at InterContinental Dhaka. Twenty-three local companies and two industry associations joined the initiative.
The partnership forms part of KOICA's $8.5 million Better Employment with Competency-Based Skills Training project running through 2028. Private sector partners will supply technical training centers with practical curricula and internship programs. The agreement creates direct employment pathways for program graduates.
Bangladesh achieved a milestone by certifying vocational trainers under National Technical and Vocational Qualification Framework standards for the first time. Officials expect the collaboration will boost local industry while preparing workers for international employment opportunities that benefit economic growth.
