Ethiopia Industrial Park Skills Assessment

The SKY skills assessment is a state-of-the art employer-employee-trainer survey that collects information on how employees’ skills match with the skills that employers and trainers perceive to be important. This survey instrument is unique in that it allows several assessors to evaluate the garment production skills of workers and combine these assessment scores with individual workers’ self-reported history of skills development and attitudes towards work, as well as the characteristics of the factory. The study began in 2018 and included 588 individuals from 19 factories in the Hawassa and Bole Lemi industrial parks. <br>
