In today’s competitive job market, practical skills and hands-on experience are crucial for career success. Through its programmes, Sharek Youth Forum enhances Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) by equipping youth with industry-relevant skills, workplace readiness, and career opportunities.

Why TVET Matters

Despite high unemployment rates in Palestine, many businesses struggle to find skilled workers. The gap between education and labor market needs leaves youth unprepared for available jobs. We tackle this challenge by:

• Enhancing Training Centers: Partnering with 16 vocational training centers (VTCs) to provide specialized courses in high-demand fields like IT, marketing, graphic design, telecommunications, and hospitality.
• Connecting Youth to Employers: Establishing direct links between students and industries seeking skilled workers.
• Integrating Soft & Technical Skills: Combining professional training with life skills, career guidance, and workplace ethics, ensuring that graduates are not just skilled but also employable.

Hands-On Learning & Real-World Experience

Through Sharek, TVET students receive practical training, internships, and shadowing opportunities with leading businesses. This approach ensures that learning extends beyond the classroom and prepares youth for immediate entry into the workforce.
