| description |
Jobs are critical to ending the cycle of
poverty because they give people the opportunity to support
themselves and their families. Policymakers focused on
helping people move into the workforce often turn to
vocational training and retraining programs. But do these
actually improve people s chances of finding work? Do the
jobs pay enough to justify the costs of the training
programs? Who provides the best courses - private firms or
state organizations? Policymakers and researchers are
looking for answers to these questions and more in order to
understand how to create programs that work best. In Turkey,
researchers from the World Bank worked with the government
to evaluate the impact of the Turkish National Employment
Agencys (ISKUR) vocational training program to reduce
unemployment. Based on the results, the government increased
courses by private providers and took steps to ensure the
quality of the offerings. The government also added job
search assistance, improved employment counseling, increased
efforts to enroll beneficiaries of social assistance
programs who are able to work, and offered incentives to
those beneficiaries of social assistance who actively search
for a job after the course. |
