Workforce Development in Developing Countries

AIR prepares students for success in the labor market by providing them with skills that match the current needs of employers and the economy. We develop training programs that enable students, particularly postsecondary students, to enter a variety of industries that require well-developed technical skills. Additional workforce development efforts have focused on providing skills maintenance and enhancement through continuing education to those already employed, as well as retraining for displaced workers.
