This ADB project delivered 412 TVET occupational and skill training courses covering 17 sectors. The courses were awarded “Excellent Online TVET Courses” by the Hunan Provincial Government and taken by more than 800,000 TVET students in poor counties in the province. In addition, more than 786 training courses were revised using the competency-based curriculum.
