Sri Lanka: Public Training Institutions in 2016: Tracer Study

Abstract

This independent tracer study examines Sri Lanka’s Skills Sector Development Program, which the Asian Development Bank supported through results-based lending. The study tracks graduates from seven public technical and vocational education and training institutions involved in the program. It examines graduates’ employability by looking at job placement rates. It also examines access to the education and training programs, their quality and relevance, and possible areas for improvement in the sector. The study provides evidence to inform future policies to help equip young people with the skills employers need.
