Local livelihoods
Decision questionWhere could philanthropic support for vocational training connect a U.S. development priority with local employer demand?
Working hypothesis
Explore employer-linked training with a local implementer. First establish whether the skills are needed, the approach is supported by evidence, and a capable partner is interested.
Questions to resolve
Local demand
Review labor-market information and employer perspectives. Which skills are needed, and who can validate that locally?
Delivery capacity
Review authorized program information. Which organizations have relevant experience, capacity, and interest?
Evidence & fit
Examine evaluations and voluntarily shared funding priorities. What applies here, and what remains uncertain?
How this sample would be reviewed
Local practitioners would test the assumptions. Each source would retain its date, context, and sharing permissions. Participants would review evidence quality and decide whether to pursue an introduction.
No region, organization, findings, or funding commitment are represented in this example. Decisions remain with the participating institutions.
