Doha: Qatar has increased its investment in vocational and technical education to better align its youth with the rapidly evolving needs of the job market. 

In line with international trends, the Ministry of Education and Higher Education has introduced a series of strategic initiatives to modernize and expand technical education across the country, aiming to prepare students for the demands of the 21st-century economy.

Director of the Vocational, Technical, and Specialized Education Department at the Ministry, Engineer Hashem Mohammed Al-Sada, emphasized the growing global recognition of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET).

Speaking to Qatar TV recently, he said "TVET is no longer an alternative or secondary option. It is now a global priority, with many countries seeking skilled graduates who can contribute from day one”.

According to Al-Sada, societal attitudes toward vocational education have shifted positively in recent years.
