1- procurement (B): Trainees under this grant will have education and/or experience in the ICT sector. 12-Apr-2018 3:15 PM
2- Nasim (S): How realistic is it to place 75% of trainees (90 persons) after completing the training? The employment rate of computer science graduates in Afghanistan is 20% (for both male and female). Any organization guaranteeing this placement rate is going to fail. Alternative suggestion will be to build start-ups and support them for a specific period of time. 20-Apr-2018 12:56 PM
3- procurement (B): The purpose of the grant is to identify and provide high-value, sector-specific training that will result in employment for individuals who already have graduated with an ICT degree, but lack required skills and/or experience. Applicants may propose alternative employment options, but are expected to meet the stated employment metric for final payment. 22-Apr-2018 8:42 AM
