The Guidelines and Toolkit, jointly developed by UNDP IICPSD and SESRIC, is a global product that aims to inspire, motivate and mobilize the private sector to engage in skills training more actively and help stakeholders to collaborate more closely with companies, chambers of commerce and business associations.

It also provides information on and examples of private sector engagement in skills development at the national, sectoral and local level.
