Armenia Workforce Development Activity (hereinafter AWDA) is a five-year Program funded by the United States Agency for International Development and implemented by Enterprise Incubator Foundation (EIF) and consortium partners - Armenian National Agrarian University (ANAU) Foundation, Fund of Armenian Relief (FAR) and CIVITTA Armenia. The Activity was launched in October 2021 with the goal to provide the youth and women with the opportunities to improve their skills in line with labor market needs and find employment in the fields of ICT/high-tech, agriculture and tourism and hospitality. The AWDA will empower youth, women and PWDs to be actively engaged in the labor market through working with the private sector, Armenian government and education institutions, through evolving societal stereotypes and by transforming the policy regulatory environment.
In close cooperation with the United States Agency for International Development, the Enterprise Incubator Foundation (EIF) and the consortium partners have designed the activity, which will provide the youth, women and PWDs in regions with the opportunities to improve their technical and soft skills through tailored capacity programs in line with labor market needs. The project will work in anchoring the capacity building programs in local institutions whenever possible and embed in established educational and training institutions.
