Sudokkho is a 5-year skill training and employment programme, funded by DFID and SDC and implemented by Palladium in a consortium with Swisscontact and the British Council. The programme seeks to test and scale-up market-driven, quality skills training systems within the Readymade Garments (RMG) and Construction sectors that will stimulate further investment in training by trainees, private training providers and employers. The programme supports Private Training Providers (PTPs) and Industry-based training initiatives (supply-side stimulation), and raises awareness about the value of skills development among the trainees and industry (demand-side stimulation).
Sudokkho builds upon the TVET reform agenda in coordination with the Directorate of Technical Education (DTE) of the Ministry of Education (MoE). The Government of Bangladesh (GoB) supports initiatives that facilitate greater involvement of the private sector to ensure skills training is relevant and of high quality, thereby increasing post-training employment opportunities, as stipulated in the National Skills Development Policy 2011. The programme strengthens the institutional capacity and supports key functions of the Industry Skills Councils (ISC) in the concerned sectors and supports capacity building of national training consultancy service providers (TCSP) to sustain a long-term development process.
Sudokkho requires the services of an international expert to develop the capacity at least three and in due time five national TCSP organisations, that cumulative will employ in due time an equivalent of at least 50 full-time individuals who would be fully qualified to operate as national expert of a TCSP, supporting RMG factories in the establishment and capacity building of factory-based training systems as per Sudokkho specifications.
