Bangladesh: CEBAI gets accreditation to improve RMG factories

Bangladesh Technical Education Board, the statutory authority for quality assurance and certification for Technical and Vocational Education and Training has accredited the Centre of Excellence for Bangladesh Apparel Industry (CEBAI) as a Registered Training Organization (RTO). Swedish retailer H&M, the Swedish government, the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA), the ILO, in a joint effort established the CEBAI late last year. Its role is to improve the quality of work and productivity in RMG factories and enable workers to have their skills formally recognised through implementation of certified training within the national skills development policy (NSDP) of Bangladesh.

ILO County Director for Bangladesh, Srinivas Reddy said ILO considers CEBAI as an important new institution driven by the industry to play a valuable role in meeting the changing needs of Bangladesh RMG sector as it seeks to move up the value chain. However, at the same time it helps RMG workers, particularly women, improve their skills, incomes and gain skills certification, he added.

The National Technical and Vocational Qualification Framework (NTVQF), which is based on competency based training methodology, would be the base CEBAI’s training courses, because of the RTO certification. Besides, instructors, industry trainers and assessors will be trained and get certification through CEBAI. Also, women will benefit the most and there is a target of 5 percent for those with disabilities too, benefitting them as well.
