Importance of VoTech Training• Vocational technical (VoTech) training is vital to the
development of any nation’s workforce

Current Problem• Iraq has an acute shortage of skilled laborers
During the 10 years prior to OIF, few people received an up-to-date VoTech education
Following combat operations in 2003, most of the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs (MoLSA) 23 VoTechs were damaged and/or looted
• Iraq has a wealth of youth looking for a way to make a living
60% of the Iraqi population is 30 years of age or less Stuck in low-income -- cannot advance due to being
under-trained/under-educated
• Combined, this is leading to:
An economy which cannot grow, will not attract foreign investment Lower standards of living and a lack of hope A larger recruiting pool for militias and anti-GoI forces

Summary• A skilled work force is critical to the Iraqi economy
Training primarily military-aged males in order to provide an alternative to participation in insurgent or anti-GoI activities
• Iraqi Vocational Training Institutes (VoTechs) have been damaged and looted, or at best, are operating at a greatly reduced level with antiquated equipment.
• Without operational, modern VoTechs, the Iraqi infrastructure and economy will suffer from a lack of skilled laborers
• Assessments for all 23 sites have been completed
