As a result, to strengthen the modern workforce, collective efforts from the public & private sectors are being observed in terms of promoting TVE training (TVET) education and increasing awareness among the students to opt for vocational training programs that could help students learn technical skills and gain practical knowledge.

Low-skilled foreign workers majorly dominate employment across the country’s private sector. The country’s public & private sectors are raising funds to upgrade the existing TVET systems and attract newer students for this course, thus improving employment and reducing dependency on the expatriate workforce.

Furthermore, the private sector provides considerably higher returns on investment for TVET students, which also drives young adults to opt for TVET courses. Moreover, while the country is making considerable efforts in attracting women candidates for TVET courses, there exists a significant gender gap, which is expected to reduce over the forecast period.
