Training on 4IR Technologies
Equipping Bangladesh's workforce with Fourth Industrial Revolution skills — automation, AI, data analytics, cybersecurity, and enterprise IT across BHTPA's tech parks.
Skills Development in the DEIEDP-BHTPA
The DEIED-BHTPA success is dependent on entrepreneurs and firm employees having, or having access to, the right skills. The skills development work supports the overall PRIDE Component 4 objectives — creating pathways into STPs and High-Tech Parks through specialised 4IR training.
Key Objectives
The skills development work supports four interconnected goals to grow Bangladesh's digital workforce.
More People in Better Jobs
4,000 new high-skill, graduate jobs will be facilitated by PRIDE. Skills development will provide pathways into STPs and High-Tech Parks (HTPs) for 3,000 beneficiaries leading to a graduate job — with opportunities more likely to be formal than in the wider labour market.
More Investment-Ready SMEs
Technical, management and leadership skills for business scale-up offered to management, employees of SME firms, and their potential hires.
More Digital Entrepreneurs
Entrepreneurial training and support for people who wish to start new businesses in BHTPA-supported STPs and HTPs — attracting more youth, women and professionals to the digital economy.
Women in ICT & ITeS
Improving pathways into ICT jobs. At least 40% of the new jobs facilitated by BHTPA's PRIDE — and 40% of training beneficiaries linked to employment in STPs and HTPs — will be women.
