This handbook shows how the Build4Skills program integrates traineeships into ADB-backed infrastructure construction projects in Asia and the Pacific to provide cost-efficient training that boosts employability and makes projects more inclusive.

Designed as a practical step-by-step guide, it includes templates that layout trainee requirements. It sets out how to integrate Build4Skills traineeships, coordinate with contractors and institutions, and deliver effective training. It explains how building training into projects requires marginal budget increases, why offering work-based training benefits contractors, and how strategic cooperation can create innovative solutions to global challenges.
