The contract seeks to deliver comprehensive entrepreneurship and workforce readiness training targeted at youth and small business owners across the Pacific region, with a focus on building practical business skills that drive economic resilience and sustainable growth. The program will be implemented under the U.S. Mission to Fiji, operating through the Department of State, and is structured as a subcontract with a NAICS code of 611420, indicating its alignment with other schools and instruction services.
