ABOUT THIS REPORT The survey intends to provide an overview about existing skills development development projects, tra training ining service providers and enterprises in ten selected districts1 of Bangladesh. The information will be used for the following purposes: I)
Explore avenues of collaboration among skills development actors and avoiding duplication of efforts. The survey aims to address the lack of consolidated information on completed and ongoing skills skills developme development nt initiatives in Bangladesh. In this regard, the survey intends to capture, among others, detailed information about donors involved in Skills Development (SD) projects, geographical location of SD projects ’, target groups, male-female ratio of people belonging to the primary target group and type of interventions.
II)
Enable skills practitioners designing project befitting target groups that were so far excluded from existing projects. To that end, the survey taps information usually not readily available from Training Service Providers (TSP) and enterprises about necessary elements of skills development. Survey data regarding TSPs will cue on TSPs’ staffing , involvement with SD projects, and types of training related intervention. It will also provide information such as Enterprises’ staffing and their skill level and provision for on the job training among others.
III)
Substantiate the national skills data system of the National Skills Development Council (NSDC) with compleme complementary ntary information. As a part of Swisscontact’s close collaboration with government agencies involved in skills development, the survey will support NSDC’s
initiative of developing a National Skills Data System by sharing the survey data and findings. IV)
This report presents results of the analysis done based on data collected from the targeted districts. In addition, the enclosed CD contains detailed data, analysis and other calculations that were required to arrive at the results.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY BACKGROUND
Swisscontact has realized lack of consolidated information on completed and ongoing Skills Development (SD) projects in Bangladesh. In addition, information about Training Service Providers (TSPs), and employment opportunities at enterprises are also not easily available. With the above in mind, expert staffs from the earlier SkillFUL project embarked on a research to locate SD projects, TSPs and enterprises (employers of graduates) in Dhaka, Gazipur, Mymensingh, Bogra, Rajshahi, Dinajpur, Jessore, Khulna, Chittagong and Sunamganj Districts. F INDINGS
16 SD projects were mapped in the study which showed that more project operate in urban areas than in rural ones, with the exception of Jessore. 94% of the projects target male, female and youth as beneficiaries who are also economically poor. The focus on Differently Abled People (DAP) and marginalised is low compared to male, female and youth. Tribal communities receiv receive e the lowest focus from the projects. 100%, 94% and 94% of the project target their interventions on training material development, training of trainers and skills training provision respectively. More SD projects (88%) focus on wage-employment than entrepreneurship development (63%). Only 50% of the SD projects carry out access to finance and policy advocacy related interventions. interventions. 175 TSPs were surveyed during the study of which 31% were based in Dhaka. Less than 5% of the TSPs were found working in Sunamganj, Mymensingh and Chittagong2. 51% of the TSPs are NGO-based compared to 39% private and 11% public. This shows dependency of TSPs on donor driven training. Segregating the TSPs according to seating capacity shows that 35% and 30% of rural TSPs have 51-100 or 50 and less seats respectively. Larger TSPs are concentrated in urban areas and it shows that 50%, 50% and 42% have 101-250, 251-500 or 500 plus seats respectively. Only 37% of the TSPs have been accredited by BTEB. Of all TSPs surveyed, 67% have been involved in SD projects funded by donors. 233 enterprises were surveyed, most of which (64%) do not employ any female. Only 10% of staff comprises female in enterprises with 15 or less workers. The proportion increases to 30% for enterprises employing between 16 and 100 workers. For enterprises (mostly ready-made garments and tailoring firms) with more than 100 workers, the rate is around 50%. Segregating enterprises among urban, semi-urban and rural locations, it can be seen that the gender ratio of staff is well balanced (close to 1:1) in urban and rural areas. In semi-urban locations, however, female comprise of only 25%3 of the total workers. Dividing the enterprises into various trade categories, it is found that enterprises in 7 of the 18 trade categories have only male workers. The trade categories where enterprises have more than 50% of female workers are traditional in nature. na ture. Workers with basic skills consist of either 20% or less of the total workers employed in enterprises of all sizes, with smaller enterprises employing employing more workers with basic skills than larger ones. Larger enterprises have higher concentration of experienced workers than smaller ones.

without expecting any cost contribution from projects. The rate increases to 85% when projects offer reimbursement of costs for OJT. Enterprises prefer smaller periods of OJTs with 58% suggesting a maximum of 5 weeks. Smaller enterprises (below 100 workers) demand between 100 and 200 workers with basic skills annually, while the larger enterprises (more than 100 workers) demand between 850 and 25004. Almost all the enterprises (employing 11 or more workers) expressed willingness to offer higher wages to basic skilled workers as compared to untrained ones. Then onwards the willingness to officer higher wages to trained workers reduces and reaches 50% for small enterprises (5 or less workers).
Commented [Manfred19]: This is probably the combined need of all enterprises. But for us it would be good to know per enterprise in average. Commented [IU20R19]: If I put average here, the information will not be coherent with the data in figure 18. Commented [Manfred21]: same as above. Commented [IU22R21]: See reply to above comment.

Applies to people with predominantly physical or mental challenges. It recognises that even if people have mental and/or physical impairments, they still have abilities, contrary to the picture painted with the terms disabled or handicapped. People who are marginalised and poor
Disadvantaged5 Experienced worker Formal assessment and certification Less experienced worker Marginalized
Workers who are able to perform routine work independently and can supervise others Assessment and certification that are either conducted directly by BTEB or centres that are accredited by BTEB to conduct such assessments Workers who are skilled but need occasional supervision to perform routine work People who, due to political or social reasons, are excluded from rights or services like education, food, health, political participation, justice, livelihood opportunities, access to markets, information, ownership of land, etc.
Poor
An approach to implementing skills training project where TSPs offers demandable courses for which trainees are willing to pay partial cost of the course. This creates a paradigm shift from the traditional project based training where the donors subsidise the courses fully.

Private TSP
TSPs that are owned and operated by private enterprises
Public TSP

1.0 BACKGROUND 1.1
Rational for the survey
Bangladesh has a labour force of around 56 million with a growth of about 2 million young entrants every year6. Around 88%7 of the workforce earns their living in the informal sector which is characterised by low productivity due to lack of adequate education and skills training of the workers. Although the poverty headcount index has declined over the years, high rates of unemployme unemployment nt and underemployment underemployme nt continue to exacerbate the impoverished lives of the poor. Given this context Skills Development (SD) has rightly become one of the urgent needs for the development of Bangladesh. The Government of Bangladesh considers SD as one of its priorities to becoming a middle-income country by 2021 and has integrated SD into policies. Major donor agencies such as ADB, The World Bank, SDC, DFID, SIDA etc. also realize the need of SD in Bangladesh and have been funding several SD projects. Besides, private sectors businesses have also come forward for funding SD initiatives to various degrees.
Commented [Manfred25]: Would be interesting to know how many of these have some training, esp skills training. Because this is what justifies skills development projects. Ask team Kabir or Makbul to look in to relevant reports. It is there. Evt in a WB report. Commented [Manfred26]: This is only one factor, there are many others. Commented [Manfred27]: cause by what? Lack of jobs and lack of needed skills? Commented [ME28]: Correct or 2020? Commented [IU29R28]: 2021. checked.
From the experiences of implementing SD projects in Bangladesh, Swisscontact has realized the lack of consolidated information about completed and still ongoing SD projects in Bangladesh. Whereas information about larger SD projects is easier available from the major donors it is more difficult or sometimes quite impossible to get information about smaller SD initiatives taking place in different geographical areas in Bangladesh. In addition, information about Training Service Providers (TSPs), and employment opportunities at enterprises are alsot his notperception. easily available. Consultation with donors and representatives of government agencies support The National Skills Development Development Council (NSDC), the national apex body on SD, has taken initiative to develop a National Skills Data System. This system will cover information on employment opportunities, skills requirements, overseas labour markets, graduates, and labour law. However information on ongoing skills development initiatives, their focus areas, target groups, scale and duration are not yet covered under this system. With the above in mind, expert staffs from the earlier SkillFUL project embarked on a research to locate SD projects, TSPs and enterprises (employers of graduates) in 10 selected districts. The objective was to:
Enable skills development agencies to identify possible collaboration opportunities among

ongoing projects and avoid overlapping.
Enable skills development practitioners to design future projects that address challenges in
delivering market oriented skills training to needy beneficiaries.
Supply NSDC with information on skills development initiatives to enhance the National Skills
Data System.

Target areas
The districts proposed have been selected based on prevalence of poor and disadvantaged target groups and economic opportunities. Because there are too many districts that qualify with these rather generic criteria, which could not all a ll be covered by the limited resources available for this study, it was decided to focus on districts in which SDC has been present with project activities during the last years plus some new ones. SDC Bangladesh is going to implement new skills development

initiatives and wishes to focus and deepen its impact of development work in their target areas by making more use of networks and synergies among its projects and partners. The findings of this study will be relevant for any skills development initiatives in the selected districts but might be of particular interest for SDC’s future skills development initiatives in these areas.
1.3
Survey approach
The research project utilised SkillFUL’s experience and expertise of its SD staffs who possessed the required knowledge in research methodology, training implementation and analysis of stakeholders of SD projects. Eight (08) staffs from the earlier SkillFUL project worked as researchers while the former SkillFUL project manager provided support in the role as Technical Advisor. Both primary and secondary data were collected to achieve the research objectives. Initially data collection was done through desk research only to economise available financial resources. However, it soon became evident that desk research alone could not provide enough data for a meaningful survey (see 1.3.3 Field survey). Therefore field surveys were also conducted by the research staffs in all of the 10 districts. The survey started in May 2015 and was scheduled to be complete by the end of October 2015.
Commented [ME34]: Why, what was the reason? Commented [IU35R34]: Referred to the section where the reason is explained. Did not want to put the reason here again to prevent repetition.
1.3.1 Scope of the survey The survey covered three major stakeholders of SD projects: 1. TSPs: They play the most important role in selection, training and job placement of training beneficiaries. The survey looked into TSPs that were privately owned and /or were NGOs. Care was taken to involve not only TSPs that offered subsidized training financed t hrough projects but also those that required trainees to pay fully for the course. TSPs offering training on livelihood skills such as cattle fattening, goat rearing, etc. were excluded; the focus was on TSPs that provide more technically oriented skills training. 2. Skills Development Development Projects (SD projects): These projects support skills training with technical and financial inputs. The research intended to survey SD projects funded by international donors and those funded locally. 3. Enterprises: Enterprises are important because they provide information on demandable occupations, on-the-job training and employment. For the survey mainly enterprises who offered any of the former SkillFUL supported occupations (see Annex II: Questionnaire for some cases, enterprises that comprise occupations outside SkillFUL’s interventions were also

representatives of enterprises for the list of occupations) were considered as respondents. In

1.3.2 Contact collection In order to reach the TSPs, SD projects and enterprises to administer the survey, the first step was to have access to their contacts. To facilitate this process, possible information sources which have access to these contacts were brainstormed and listed. In many cases, the team members relied also on their personal connections to get to these information sources. Once the contact information sources were defined, these sources were contacted by phone to collect the contacts for the survey among TSPs, SD projects and enterprises. After obtaining the respondents’ contacts, questionnaires (see 1.3.3 and Annex II) were sent to them.

1.3.3 Data collection Questionnaire development Three (3) questionnaires were developed simultaneously with contact collection, one each for TSPs, SD projects and enterprises. Based on the English skills, it was decided that the questionnaire for SD projects, which usually employ staffs that have sufficient English skills, will be circulated in English, while those for TSPs and enterprises will be translated into Bangla. Before sending out the questionnaires they were tested with randomly selected respondents in Dhaka. Six (6) questionnaires for TSPs, 3 for SD projects and 6 for enterprises were tested. After receiving and analysing the responses, critical issues were further discussed with the respondents over phone and the questionnaires revised.
Desk survey Questionnaires were initially sent out to 236 TSPs, 24 SD projects and 445 enterprises by email and/ or surface mail. However, the initial response rate was very low. Therefore the team members had to take considerable efforts to remind the respondents over phone repeatedly to return the filled out questionnaires. At the end of the desk survey responses from 127 (54%) TSPs, 16 (67%) SD projects and 205 (46%) enterprises were receive received. d.
Field Given survey the low rate of responses, especially among the enterprises and TSPs, it was decided to also conduct a field survey in all 10 districts to seek more information. At the end of the visits only 29 and 28 additional responses were collected from TSPs and enterprises respectively. However, given the overwhelming overwhelmi ng number of enterprises in all the targeted districts, it was decided that only their contact information shall be collected segregated segregated according to districts. Many of t he enterprise contacts are only available in hard copy because the information sources, e.g. associations, did not have proper soft copy files. Many of the enterprise contacts are also incomplete such as missing phone numbers, addresses, type of their service/ product offered. At the end of t he field survey, demanding a level of effort of 91 person-days, 21’412 contacts of enterprises were collected. These contacts are not yet in a database because the high level of effort required for verification, com completion pletion and data entry. It was decided to follow up further on the 1 st field survey in Dhaka and Gazipur districts to locate additional TSPs. For this additional 9 person-days were required. 19 additional TSPs were located and surveyed using the TSP questionnaire. At the end of desk and field data collection 175 (74%) TSP, 16 (67%) SD project and 233 (52%) enterprise response were collected.
1.3.4 Data entry Three (3) separate databases were prepared using Microsoft Excel 2013 to record, organise and analyse the data received from the questionnaires of TSPs, SD projects and enterprises. The data entry was done by the research team members. To facilitate easy data entry, the format of the data entry sheets were kept similar to the questionnaires. Once responses were keyed into the data base, data cleaning took place jointly with the research team members who entered the data. In cases of unclear data respondents were contacted for further clarification.
1.3.5 Limitations and Challenges Although SD projects were fairly prompt in returning the questionnaires, it was extremely challenging to get them back from the TSPs and enterprises. Some information related to SD projects, especially 7

those implemented in collaboration with GoB, were difficult to obtain as government officers were unwilling to cooperate on phone. At the time of the survey, many TSPs were busy conducting the BTEB exams. Research team members had to take considerable effort and made several phone calls to individual respondents to have the questionnaires returned. The greatest challenge however, was collecting responses from enterprises. Since they are not sufficiently aware of or do not have a direct interest in skills development projects, enterprises enterprises were reluctant to spend time towards providing their responses. There were cases when enterprises informed that they do not see any point in filling out the questionnaires because there was no apparent financial gain for them. The research team members had to use their personal connections connections or had to involve TSPs (who were familiar with the enterprises) to convince management at enterprises to respond to t he questionnaires. There were also technical difficulties with regards compatibility of programs (Adobe, MS Word) used by the research team and the respondents. The research team used the latest program versions which was not always the case for the respondents. It is therefore good to send files out with older program version(s), not the latest one. Also files with questionnaires in Bangla must have Bangla fonts embedded in the document else receivers of such files might not be able to read them. It is also good to send files out in Word for Windows and PDF.
Whereas have These computers most ofwere the enterprises outside Dhaka Chittagongmost are TSPs not and likelySDtoprojects have such. enterprises therefore provided with and the questionnaire through government postal service. To make matters easier for them, a return envelope with postage stamps was sent along with the questionnaires. However, many respondents claimed that it was very difficult for them to locate a government post box. So some of t hem preferred sending back the questionnaire via private courier service that was easily available albeit at higher costs. The study further encountered limitations with regards to the survey methodology. Since the total size of the population of SD projects, TSPs and enterprises could not be estimated, it was not possible to determine the sampling size that will allow statistically significant analyses and results of all the variables mentioned in the report. The limited resources had also not allowed to considerably expanding the survey to seeking more responses because this had to happen mainly through additional filed work. Therefore, the results and interpretations presented in the report are more of indicative nature. In order to allow a llow the reader a better j udgment of the significance of the results the numbers of samples on which the results are a re based are also indicated.

Altogether 16 active SD projects with varying durations could be located in the 10 targeted districts. Data shows that there is no project with a duration of less than 1 year.

Figure 1: District-wise operations of SD projects
Figure 1 depicts that more SD projects 8 are active in urban areas like Gazipur (7), Dhaka (5) and Chittagong (4) than other districts. The concentration of SD project is much lower in rural districts like Mymensingh, Gaibandha, Bandarban, Kurigram, Rajbari, Pabna, Satkhira, Sunamganj and Kushtia where the survey found just one SD project operational in each of them. Jessore, generally regarded as a semi-urban area, has also just one project. It is quite challenging to conduct skills development initiatives in rural areas given that there are limited TSPs and j ob opportunities and the survey indeed shows that rural areas are less catered to by such initiatives.

Lastly, tribal communities are targeted by just 6% of the total projects surveyed which is also understandable given remote habitats of such communities. Although more challenging, it might be good if future S D projects would pay more attention to address marginalised people (DAPs, tribal communities, others).

Figure 3 shows that interventions directly related to training provision like training material development, training of trainers, skills training provision are some of the favourite interventions among the SD projects. Activities not directly related to t raining provision like occupational standard development, training of school management and formal assessment and certification receive lesser attention from SD project. Access to finance and policy advocacy are the least prevalent interventions with just 50% of SD projects supporting such initiatives. Lesser focus on access to finance and entrepreneurship compared to job placement indicates that SD projects invest more in wageemployment than self-employment. self-employment. With such a high level of similar interventions among all projects close cooperation and coordination among each other might be meaningful to benefit from and complement each other’s activities and prevent unnecessary duplication of efforts (e.g. training material developme development). nt).

With regards to concentration of TSPs, Dhaka is followed by Bogra, Dinajpur, Khulna , 9% Jessore, Rajshahi and Khulna, all of which have either 9% or more of th e total surveyed TSPs. Next is Gazipur and Chittagong with Rajshahi, 9% just 6% respecti vely 5% of the total TSPs surveyed. The case of Chittagong is rather Bogra, 13% interesting considering that it is the Port City Jessore, of the country and is preceded only by Dhaka 11% Dinajpur, in terms of urbanisation and 11% industrialisation. One should note that data collection in Chittagong was suspended halfway through due to a tropical cyclone Figure 4: District-wise distribution of TSPs making landfall in the coastal areas of the di strict. As a result, the results are unlikely to be a true reflection of TSP concentration in the area. Sunamganj has the lowest proportion of TSPs which reaffirms the commonly held assumption that rural areas lack skills training opportunities.
Commented [Manfred55]: Special case - must be explained. Commented [IU56R55]: Explained Commented [ME57]: Two districts...but then only Chittagong is explained. I also find it unlikely that Chittagong has only so few TSPs. Did we spend enough time to late the TSPs? I thought we could not visit long enough.
Commented [IU58R57]: We did the visit, but for enterprises not for TSPs. There is a possibility that Chittagong has more TSPs but our data does not reflect that.
Although not statistically significant, one can see a correlation between location-wise concentration of TSPs and SD projects. Barring a few exceptions, both of them have higher presence in urban districts than in r ural ones (compare Figure 1 with Figure 4). An interesting analysis would be to explore whether high concentration of TSPs in urban areas is caused by higher numbers of SD project in the same areas. Such analysis requires one to look into the type of TSPs located in different districts.
Commented [Manfred59]: Include in explanation to Chittagong above

The above correlation could have manifested because of several possibilities. The first possibility is based on the assumption that high number of TSPs were operating in districts before SD projects started investing.

that SD projects were already operating in certain district (with private TSPs). Sensing opportunities to receive project funds, NGOs may have set-up training centres in districts with higher concentration of SD projects. As a result, the number of NGO-based districts increased in areas where we see higher concentration of SD projects. However, substantiating any of th e above possibilities is beyond the scope of this study. Above results may also have implications for projects wanting to induce a more market development approach to skills training. Although social businesses in nature, NGOs are mostly donor funded. They might, therefore, not be used to adopting more sustainable business models such as charging tuition fee from trainees, seeking industry contributions or other tapping upcoming sources such as the training fund to be introduced by the government. This does not mean that privately owned TSPs do not work with projects and donor funds. . During the implementatio implementation n of the SkillFUL project, Swisscontact partnered successfully with 17 privately owned TSPs. The data further beacons towards the challenge for projects intending to work with public TSPs because only 11% of the TSPs located located and surveyed surveyed are run by the government. Yet another challe challenge nge with regards to cooperating with public TSPs is the bureaucracy embedded in the process of engaging them. This is substantiated by t he experience of the SkillFUL project which tried working with several public TSPs but the achieved cooperation cooperation was very short of expectations.

Figure 7 shows the percentage of TSPs that are accredited by the Bangladesh Technical Education Board (BTEB) in comparison to those which are not. It shows that 42% of the surveyed TSPs have received accreditation from BTEB, the remaining 63% have not. This poses a particular challenge for SD projects that intend to provide formal training and/or ensure certification of graduates under the formal system. Given that the majority of the TSPs are not accredited, SD projects have a limited choice of working with such TSPs.

An interesting observation is that less than 2% of the TSPs offer courses for occupations such as motorcycle mechanic, rod binder, carpenter, sweater knitting operator, sweater linking operator etc. (the 12 last trades listed). For many of these occupations skilled people were recently still in demand and training courses exist. Possible reasons for the low course offers might be lack of capacity of TSPs to provide these courses which would imply more capacity building for these courses at TSPs.

This is not surprising considering 51% of the total TSPs found are NGO-based. This indicates a high familiarity of TSPs with projects which can be an advantage for cooperation insofar that expectations of such TSPs towards new project support remains realistic. It also means a still high dependency on external source of funds and lesser an approach for a more market oriented model of skills delivery.

Enterprises in Target areas
As mentioned under section 1.3.5 one of the biggest challenges was to get responses from enterprises. As a result, responses from enterprises were too limited to obtain an accurate perception of issues at hand. The number of contacts of enterprise collected collected in the 10 targeted districts is very high. However many of the contacts do not allow segregating enterprises based on sectors, sub-sectors, trades and other criteria because most information sources, e.g. associations, chambers of commerce, do not maintain such segregated data about their members. For the use of this survey, it had however been essential to select enterprises that provide work in occupations relevant for this survey. Also, the contact information of enterprises is often incomplete (missing phone numbers, addresses, emails). Some of the information was only available in hard copies. In order to make enterprise ’s information more useful, a tremendous amount of work would be required for verification, completion of information and data entry. This level of effort was not possible within the limited resources available for the survey. Hence the survey team had to limit itself mainly to only collect the contacts from the information sources and organise them segregated as per districts. With some additional efforts, these contacts can be very useful in the future, especially for projects who intend to locate enterprises for facilitating OJTs and/or employment. employment. At the end of the data collection phase, “contacts” of 21,412 enterprises were available. Responses specific to the survey questionnaire were collected from 233 enterprises only. The results below are, hence, based on the analyses of data from these 233 enterprises and are statistically not relevant but indicative in nature. A general assumption among skills development practitioners is that employers tend to be biased against recruiting female technical workers. A study 10 commissioned by SkillFUL project in 2013 revealed that more than 58% of the enterprises do not employ women. Security concerns, inability to make them work overtime, risk of eve-teasing and social disturbances were identified as some of the reasons why enterprises are reluctant to hire women.

The proportion of less experienced workers is also more or less consistent (around 30%) across all enterprises of all sizes. For larger enterprises (employing more than 50 workers) the rate of basic skilled workers is even lower. This makes sense considering that many larger enterprises are (more) formal in nature and need more qualified workers for which they also have financial resources.

SD projects often support on the job training (OJT) for graduates in workplaces. Figure 16 shows that 73% of the enterprises expressed their willingness to provide OJTs to freshly trained graduates without expecting any contribution from projects towards the costs. The rate of willingness even increases increases to 85% when projects offer to reimburse costs. Both rates of willingness are very high and do not reflect the experience with enterprises to contribute to skills training in the past and hence these result must be taken with a dose of scepticism.

Figure 18: Demand for basic skilled workers according to size of enteprise
In order to figure out the chances of SD projects to place trainees with basic skills in OJT and jobs, the study looked into the number of basic skilled workers workers enterprises need to replace each year. The study did not look into the replacement rate for less skilled and skilled workers. Figure 18 shows smaller enterprises (employing (employing less than 20 workers), most of them probably the informal sector, need to replace around 2-4 workers with basic skills each year. Medium size and larger ones, of which many are in the formal sector, seem to replace higher numbers. Average demand for enterprises 16 in the range of 101 – 500 workers is 183; a very high value compared to enterprises in other ranges. The implication of the above result is generally good news for SD projects. Because the large number of existing informal sector enterprises, besides newly established ones, offer the opportunity, although limited, for placing trainees in OJT and later employment17. However getting these vacancies is also very competitive taking into consideration common recruitment practices where enterprises hire based on demonstrated skills (observe what an applicant can do before hiring) and not a training certificate. The tracer study conducted by the earlier SkillFUL project 18 which mainly worked with enterprises in the informal sector shows that the rate of employment of graduates with basic skills was only 48% and this with help for employment by the training providers. Larger enterprises offer also opportunities for OJT and employment but are much lesser in numbers.

Enterprises in this range include those in the following sectors: construction, garments and fashionwear, furniture and handicraft and others. 17 This statement does disregard the issue of Decent Work which is an issue especially in the informal sector, but not only. To get a ‘feel’ for the number of informal sector enterprises needed: Assuming 3 replacements per year per informal sector enterprise, and disregardin g any other variables, would mean for each 1’000 trainees finding 333 informal enterprises per year for OJT and employment. 18 Tracer Study on Graduates under the SkillFUL Project, 2014; Md.

Figure 19: Enterprises willing to pay higher wages to workers with basic skills
It is in the mandates of many SD projects to ensure that the graduates of their skill training programmes get better wages than untrained workers when negotiating job. To measure how realistic this is vis-a-vis the job market, the study looked into the willingness of entrepreneurs to pay more. Figure 19 depicts that almost all the enterprises (employing 11 or more workers) expressed the willingness to offer higher wages to basic skilled workers as compared to untrained ones. As with th the e willingness for OJT above, this does not reflect t he experience with enterprises in the past to recognise the value of skills development and hence the results must be taken with a dose of scepticism. The willingness of smaller enterprises (10 or less workers) is clearly much lower; only 50% of enterprises with 5 or less workers expressed their willing to offer higher wages to basic skilled workers. SD projects, especially those providing basic skills training and catering to the informal sector, which comprises 80% of the economy, will face an uphill battle to get better pay for their basic skilled graduates. Chances for better pay seem higher if basic skilled graduates find jobs in larger and more formal enterprises, which are however lesser in numbers.

Conclusions
Given the limitation of time and resources (human and financial) the survey made best efforts to map SD projects, TSPs and enterprises. Although various donor funded SD projects were located and surveyed, smaller projects funded by private institutions and/or government could not be mapped adequately within the limitations of the survey. The number of TSPs mapped is also significantly lower compared to the total number of TSPs in Bangladesh. Bangladesh. According to SDC19 there are around 367 TVET institutes and 4’000 private TSPs available in Bangladesh (number in the districts surveyed is unknown). This study covers only 175 of them. With regards to the number of enterprises, the study could only 233 survey of them but collected collected contacts of around 21’000. However, the total number of enterprises in all the targeted districts must be in the hundreds of thousands. Although the study could, because its limitations, not do as much justice to the extension and accuracy of results as desired it provides a number of interesting insights valid for SD projects which are in summary presented in the “Executive Summary” and not repeated here. As is the case with many studies, one only knows more of what one should have looked closer after the 1st analyses of data is done and results available. It would also be valid and interesting to follow up on a few f ew aspects of this study. 19 Project Document; Building Skills for Unemployed and Underemployed Labour (B-SkillFUL), Phase 1; Swiss Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation
