A new vocational training initiative was launched in Erbil to equip young people in Iraq’s Kurdistan Region with practical skills in technical and professional fields, Shafaq News learned on Sunday.
Developed through a partnership between the Rwanga Foundation and the University of Kurdistan, the TVET (Technical and Vocational Education and Training) program will offer specialized courses in automobile maintenance, computer science, digital marketing, and solar energy technologies.
The first phase of the training will focus on university students, with plans to later expand its reach to other groups across society. Organizers noted that the project is designed to build a skilled workforce capable of meeting growing demand in technical and technology-related sectors.
