Kamila Sidiqi is just one example of a young entrepreneur who has taken advantage of USAIDs The Afghanistan Workforce Development Program, which addresses problems of high unemployment and the scarcity of technically-skilled Afghan labor and trained business managers. By improving the quality and access to training in market-driven skills, AWDP complements the workforce development goals of the Afghan government and the U.S. Government, while supporting key growth opportunities in the construction, information and communications technology, mining, business management, and service industries. The goal of the AWDP is to increase job placements and wages for 25,000 Afghans, 25 percent of whom will be women, through increased access to quality technical and business education and training, job placement and support services. usaid.gov/news-information/fact-sheets/afghanistan-workforce-development-program-awdp
