Article Summary:
Vocational Training
By: Zaid Ali Al-Shami
The few technical training establishments that exist in Yemen do not seem to be able to produce well-qualified people, who can effectively compete with foreign workers. Many of these graduates do not find work because of the low regard in which vocational training is held by public and private-sector establishments.
Labor market demands should be taken into consideration when choosing the appropriate vocational training courses. Close coordination with the public and private sectors must be conducted towards that end.
