As part of the ongoing efforts to make technical education more aligned with labor market needs, the Partnership Management and Strategic Relations with the Private Sector training course was implemented ضمن the activities of the Technical and Vocational Specializations Development Program and within the Technical Education Partners Project 2026. This reflects the program’s objective of strengthening institutional partnerships and building effective bridges with the private sector.
Over two training days, participants from the administrations of Seiyun Community College and Al-Mukalla Industrial Technical Institute engaged in four main modules. These began with assessing the current status of partnerships, analyzing the labor market, and identifying priority stakeholders. The training then moved to value proposition design and marketing vocational specializations in alignment with strategic objectives, followed by negotiation skills, trust-building, and contract relationship management, and concluded with enhancing the role of digital media, partnership documentation, and partner database management.
The course aimed to strengthen practical understanding of how to design sustainable partnerships and transform them from formal agreements into strategic relationships that generate mutual value and contribute to expanding students’ practical training and employment opportunities.
The project is implemented under the supervision of the Ministry of Technical Education and Vocational Training, with generous support from Al-Awn Foundation for Development and Sheikh Abdullah Al-Nouri Charity Association, and executed by Nebras For Development.
