## Accelerator Story

Georgia’s Skills Accelerator was launched in 2020 by the the Georgian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Ministry of Education and Science with the aim of equipping young Georgian graduates with the skills that they will need in the future, particularly in strategic sectors such as tourism and hospitality services, engineering and construction, transport and logistics, and agriculture.As part of a broader reform of vocational education, the Georgian Chamber of Commerce and Ministry of Education and Science established a non-profit legal entity called Skills Agency Georgia. The main goal of this institution is to develop a flexible vocational education system by strengthening public-private partnerships, which will ensure quality improvement and more effective coordination. Leveraging the World Economic Forum’s Global Skills Taxonomy, sector maps and qualification outlines were developed, and new methods and techniques for the rapid appraisal of skills are being introduced and piloted.
