This study forms a central part of the wider Private Sector Development Program, that is being undertaken by [Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Technische Zusammenarbeit] GTZ, in close collaboration with the Georgian Government, particularly the Ministry of Economic Development (MoED) and the Ministry of Education and Science (MoES). This study is intended to support these efforts to improve the private sector generally by helping the same institutions to make the vocational education system more responsive to labour market needs. The resulting study has two parts. The first part in sections two and three examines the breakdown of [vocational education and training] VET skill training and compares this to the apparent labour market need in order to identify areas where skills are needed but unsupplied by the current system. This looks at the national picture, but also pays particularly close attention to Tbilisi, Shida Kartli, Batumi and Poti. The second half of the research in sections four and five examines the way in which the MoES and the VET system currently engage with social actors and the ways that might be improved.
