Labor market bridging enhanced. The Program continued to implement private sector strategies in all countries by engaging public and private sector representatives in curriculum and professional development activities (described above) and in labor bridging activities with students, faculty and staff (described in this section). After training faculty and university staff in private sector engagement techniques, Advance worked with them to facilitate five new partnerships between universities and businesses in Year 5. COVID-19 has negatively affected the economy and workforce in all four Advance countries, including several industries that Advance supports in tourism and agriculture. In Jamaica, sectors such as tourism, events, entertainment and gastronomy are experiencing financial decline, high unemployment, and miniscule job creation. In Honduras, the tourism industry and small and mid-size enterprises (SMEs) in tourism-dependent locations have been hit the hardest since the pandemic started, which is already impacting job prospects for Food and Beverage technical degree graduates. The agriculture sector will also experience a decline in growth as exports are likely to fall, impacting Coffee Administration and Agriculture Production degree program graduates. In Guatemala, the tourism and gastronomy industry and large and small businesses in these sectors have faced a similar situation as Honduras, with decreased employment opportunities available for graduates from the Hotel Management and Gastronomy and Business Administration degree programs. As part of the Graduate Survey the Program administers to report on employment outcomes, Advance probed on potential adverse effects of COVID-19; over 40% of students surveyed in Guatemala and Honduras reported that their employment status has been affected by COVID-19. Advance anticipates that over the next six to nine months this new economic reality will continue to adversely affect almost all graduates’ transition to employment. To respond to this challenge, the Program worked to adapt labor bridging activities to reflect this new reality, including anticipating less jobs available in local businesses and more opportunities for entrepreneurship. This Year, as PPI cohort students continued to graduate and FPI 2018 cohorts started to graduate, Advance focused heavily on student work-readiness and supporting their transition to the workforce. This year Advance reached 661 students through labor bridging activities, including industry seminars,...

Labor market bridging enhanced. In Jamaica, Advance continued to build and develop relationships with private sector companies across the island. During Year 7, 10 students from Advance-supported programs were engaged in internships in local companies across all industries. These internships provided students with the opportunity to use technical and non-technical skills gained throughout their various programs and helped them to gain relevant work experience. One student from the Entertainment Design, Production and Technology program at UTECH was employed at the end of the internship period. Students from the Agro-processing and Business Management programs also took part in three Spark Days, which are experiential learning opportunities for students in Advance-supported programs through collaborations with private sector companies. These activities provided students and staff with added exposure to industry trends and best practices, showing linkages between what is learnt in the classroom and how it applies to the job. They also provide added knowledge on day-to-day operations of companies. Additionally, students at UTECH worked with a consultant to produce a showcase of skills learned during their programs. Students were able to practice skills such as lighting, sound, makeup and wig laying -- key skills that are in demand in the labor market. Students’ participation in the showcase ensured that they are better prepared to use these skills in the workplace. In the DR, Advance finalized institution-specific public-private alliances guides with ITLA and ITSC to guide their private and public sector engagement and negotiation strategies. In addition to the guides, Advance provided training to 58 labor bridging staff at ITLA and ITSC on good practices for alliance building, facilitated over seven visits to potential private sector partners and designed an employer database. This database consolidated hundreds of employers and industry clusters into one single and easy-use database that labor bridging staff can use to identify employment and internship opportunities for their students. Additionally, the Program continued its collaboration with IEET and designed and carried out a study on the perception of employers of technical education in the country. This information is needed to gather specific information and data to inform communication strategies that Advance, and its partner institutions can use to raise the legitimacy and relevant of technical education among employers, students...
