Middle East and North Africa

Middle East and North Africa

The Middle East is experiencing a skill shortage across industries and age groups with one of the highest youth unemployment rates globally. Investment into technical vocational education training (TVET) is a priority for both the public and the private sector to meet both local and international economic opportunities.

To address these issues, City & Guilds offers a wide portfolio of world class skills development solutions specifically developed with the employer, student and training provider in mind.

We are also helping on a national scale, by providing our expertise in education reform to six Middle Eastern governments.
