As a result, economic indicators for Grenada illustrate unfavorable. Increases in the poverty and unemployment rates, especially among the youth and young adults. This report presents an assessment of the regulatory, legislative, and institutional landscape governing workforce development (WfD) in Grenada. The results of this analysis are based on a newly designed analytical tool developed by the World Bank under the Systems Approach for Better Education Results (SABER) initiative. The aim of this initiative is to garner data so as to provide systematic documentation and assessment of the policy and institution factors that influence the performance of education and training systems of SABER-participating countries. The SABER-WfD tool encompasses initial, continuing, and targeted vocational education and training that are offered through multiple channels, and focus largely on programs at the secondary and post-secondary levels. The results of the assessment presented in this report are expected to assist in clarifying priorities. They classify the WfD system according to four stages of maturity in policy and institutional development, as follows: (1) Latent, (2) Emerging, (3) Established, and (4) Advanced.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACADEMIC QUALIFICATIONSACADEMIC YEARACADEMIC YEARSACCESS TO TRAININGACCREDITATIONACHIEVEMENTACHIEVEMENTSADOLESCENT MOTHERSADULTSAGE DISTRIBUTIONAVERAGE SCORECITIZENSCITIZENSHIPCIVIL UNRESTCOMPETENCY BASED EDUCATIONCOMPUTER SOFTWARECONTINUING EDUCATIONCURRICULACURRICULUMDECISION MAKINGDEMOGRAPHIC TRENDSDEMONSTRATIONDEVELOPMENT GOALSDEVELOPMENT POLICYDISADVANTAGED GROUPSEARLY CHILDHOODEARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC PRODUCTIVITYECONOMIC TRENDSEDUCATION EXPENDITUREEDUCATION INITIATIVESEDUCATION INSTITUTIONSEDUCATION POLICYEDUCATION PROGRAMSEDUCATION PROVIDERSEDUCATION REFORMSEDUCATION SYSTEMEDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONSEDUCATIONAL PROGRAMSEDUCATIONAL SERVICESEDUCATORSENROLLMENTENROLLMENT RATEEQUITABLE ACCESSEXAMFOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTGENERAL EDUCATIONGOVERNMENT AGENCIESGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTHIGH SCHOOLHIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMAHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENTINDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENTINFORMATION SYSTEMINSTITUTIONAL MECHANISMSINSTRUCTIONINSTRUCTORSINTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTSINTERVENTIONSJOB TRAININGKNOWLEDGE BASELABOR FORCELABOR MARKETLEADERSHIPLEARNERSLEARNINGLEVEL OF DEVELOPMENTLEVEL OF EDUCATIONLIFELONG LEARNINGLIMITED RESOURCESLOCAL ECONOMYMINISTRIES OF EDUCATIONMINISTRY OF EDUCATIONMOBILITYMULTIPLE LEARNING PATHWAYSNATIONAL AGENDANATIONAL DEVELOPMENTNATIONALSNEEDS ASSESSMENTNEW ENTRANTSNUMBER OF PERSONSOCCUPATIONSPARADIGM SHIFTPOLICY DECISIONSPOLICY DIALOGUEPOLICY GOALSPOLICY IMPLICATIONSPOPULATION GROUPSPRIMARY EDUCATIONPROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENTPROGRESSPUBLIC EDUCATIONPUBLIC INSTITUTIONSPUBLIC SECONDARY SCHOOLSPUBLIC SERVICEPUBLIC SUPPORTQUALITY ASSURANCEQUALITY EDUCATIONRESOURCE CONSTRAINTSRESOURCE MOBILIZATIONSCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMSSCHOLARSHIPSSCHOOL BOOKSSCHOOL FEEDINGSCHOOL LEVELSCHOOL YEARSCHOOLSSECONDARY EDUCATIONSECONDARY SCHOOLSECONDARY SCHOOLSSERVICE DELIVERYSERVICE PROVIDERSSEXSKILLED PERSONSSKILLED WORKERSSKILLED WORKFORCESKILLS ACQUISITIONSKILLS DEVELOPMENTSKILLS TRAININGSOCIAL SECTORSSOCIAL SECURITYSOCIOECONOMIC STATUSSPONSORSSPORTSSTRATEGIC PRIORITIESSTUDENT STIPENDSSTUDENT SUPPORTSTUDENT TEACHER RATIOSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTTEACHERTEACHER EDUCATIONTEACHER TRAININGTEACHERSTEACHINGTEACHING EXPERIENCETECHNICAL ASSISTANCETECHNICAL EDUCATIONTECHNOLOGY EDUCATIONTERTIARY LEVELTERTIARY LEVELSTEXTBOOKTRAINEESTRAINING CENTERSTRAINING CENTRETRAINING CENTRESTRAINING OPPORTUNITIESTRAINING PROGRAMSTRAINING SERVICESTRANSPORTATIONTUITIONTVUNEMPLOYMENTUNEMPLOYMENT RATEUNEMPLOYMENT RATESUNIVERSAL EDUCATIONUNIVERSITIESVOCATIONAL EDUCATIONVOCATIONAL SKILLSVOCATIONAL TRAININGVULNERABLE GROUPSVULNERABLE POPULATIONSYOUNG ADULTSYOUTHYOUTH DEVELOPMENTYOUTH POPULATIONReportWorld Bank10.1596/21759
