TVET is vital in low- and middle-income countries facing unemployment and skills gaps, yet billions in donor funding have underperformed. A win-win is to link TVET with legal labor mobility, improving programs abroad while meeting workforce needs and growth in high-income countries. This event will launch new research from CGD and IREX which outlines why donors should link labour mobility and TVET programming; how they can do so in practice; and where there are “investment-ready” TVET institutions ready to take advantage of these opportunities.
