Skills Development: Vocational Education

in the Islamic Countries

167

E. Poverty Reduction via Job creations

1.

More jobs should be created forskilled people

. The government, public sectors and donor

agencies should come forward tocreate jobs for skilled people. The interviewdata revealed that

100% skilled workers are not getting jobs immediately, although most of them later got

employment. In order to ensure their employment, the Ministry of Industry should work with

TVET sectors which will ease job placement and to ensure industrial attachment. In order to

support this recommendation the following citation is worthwhile:

If government will able to attach Ministry of Industry with skill development projects then

the job placement will be easier from now.

(P5)

The government should have an act

for the migrant worker, that is, if any citizen from

Bangladesh wants to migrate for foreign employment, he needs to be certified by technical

education board. If government can imply this rule for migrant worker then our remittance

will increase more. (P1, P5)

There are other recommendations which also need to be focused in this section:

In developing and under developed countries of OIC, adequate support in the form of

scholarship and free education needs to be available in order to increase poor

students’ enrolment in vocational education.

Stakeholders of TVET sectors should have initiatives to create jobs for skilled people.

Job placement cell or other form of body (council) should be established in OIC

member states to provide sufficient support to the skilled people for gaining

immediate jobs and for overseas employment

to earn foreign currency

.

These above recommendations will indeed help reducing poverty from OIC member states.
