will provide training for TVET teachers from other TVET schools,
skill-upgrading courses for workers from industry, short term skills training
for unemployed people and act as skills assessment centre as well as
preparation facility for World Skills Competition participants.
Within the project, UB construction polytechnic college, Institute of Engineering and Technology, Mongolian Korean Polytechnic College, Zavkhan Polytechnic College, Dornod Polytechnic College, Southgobi Polytechnic College and Darkhan-Uul Mining and Engineering Polytechnic College will be developed into CDCs.
