| USAID, in a $16 million partnership with Chevron Corporation and the Government of Aceh, is supporting technical education in post-disaster Aceh by building a brand new polytechnic institution to provide degrees in applied technology skills that are in high demand in Aceh and throughout Indonesia. Chevron provided funding for the building, which was completed in August 2008. USAID, through its partner SwissContact, is equipping the facility, as well as providing administrative and teaching support to create the new institution, called Politeknik Aceh. The government provided the land. The first class of 240 students, 25 percent of whom are women, began their studies in September 2008 and will study in selected areas of applied technology.
