What the grant funds

The Armenia Workforce Development Activity will work to reduce the gap between the skills of the workforce and the needs of employers. In addition, the activity will promote efforts to address the significant labor market gaps and low levels of female and youth labor market participation. The activity will also focus on improving societal misconceptions about vocational education and employment; female labor market participation; and increase utilization of information to improve youth and female engagement in the labor market, including access to mentoring and internships.
