"This study has highlighted many good practices from around the region, which provide excellent case studies. Clearly, policy makers and others need to learn from each other what works and what does not in the Pacific context. It is crucial to avoid repeating the same costly mistakes. This study does not provide a single model that will suit all countries, but it does provide a set of constructive strategies and recommendations for reform that, if acted on, could lead to significant improvements. We sincerely hope that the recommendations for projects, which could lead to the development partners providing support for TVET, would be implemented."

While the importance of skills is mentioned in many studies of clusters, there are few studies that focus specifically on skills. The current paper provides a basic conceptual framework for understanding the role of skills in cluster development. The framework was developed by analyzing the skills aspect of a limited number of well-researched cluster case studies (i.e. knitwear in India, surgical instruments in Pakistan, shoes in Brazil and Fishing in Kenya and garment in South Africa). This is the Employment Working Paper No. 8.
