Korea and UNICEF train 18,000 Bangladeshi women for jobs

The Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) and UNICEF worked together to provide job skills training to 18,000 adolescent girls and young women in Bangladesh.

The five-year program, which began in 2022, focused on vocational training and creating opportunities for employment and entrepreneurship. KOICA implemented the initiative across seven regions of Bangladesh, including Dhaka, the country’s capital. The program successfully connected the women with jobs or helped them start their own businesses.
