data shows that due tocontinual wars and siege, skilledworkers are not getting jobs and
therefore, many of them are remain unemployed.
2. Graduates from TVET sectors have adequate skills for current workplace. Qualitative
data also shows that there is a gap between TVET institutions and demand of labour

3. The industries are not jointly working with TVET institutions to produce competent
skilled workers.

to-date skills.

as to prepare them for future workforce.

immediate employment.
