MCC’s $285 million Mongolia Compact (2008-2013) included the $49 million Vocational Education Project (VEP), which aimed to increase employment and income among unemployed and marginally employed Mongolians through improving the quality and relevance of vocational education. Its five activities worked together to reform TVET policies, create system-wide skills standards, design a competency-based training system, develop career guidance and labor market information systems, and improve learning environments by upgrading and modernizing infrastructure and equipment for 28 schools.
