| Summary: | Equipping national workforces with
job-relevant skills is a continuing challenge, and
mismatches are a present concern. Many school graduates
cannot find jobs commensurate with their education and
training. Employers complain of difficulty in filling
vacancies and bemoan the scarcity of soft skills for
boosting productivity. More broadly, skills constraints make
it difficult for companies to innovate and invest in more
lucrative economic areas. A goal of SABER-Workforce
Development is to help countries improve their workforce
development framework. |
