The workshop explored the possibilities offered by vocational education and vocational high schools in order to develop them and to learn about the reality of the labor market and its future needs during the years 2020 to 2030, where a large segment of employment in the private sector was represented by graduates of vocational education (vocational secondary) and technical education (technical institutes) In addition to the graduates of the applied colleges, this sounding was called the "professional work force", the aim of which is to examine the adaptation of vocational education to suit the requirements of the labor market, through studying the labor market in terms of skills and specializations to be addressed with new additions or address gaps, if any. Current skills and vocational skills are not qualified in training and education.

 

Nahlawi stressed that the Chamber will cooperate with the Institute to complete this research and communicate the views of industrialists and their needs of future professional and specialized disciplines within the vision of the reconstruction phase, by disseminating the results of sounding to the industrialists and collect its results as soon as possible.
