As the country continues its journey towards economic growth, it is increasingly apparent that bridging the gap between TVET supply and demand is vital for sustainable development. The TVET sector plays a central role in addressing the skill needs of industries and ensuring that individuals are equipped with the competencies required to thrive in the evolving labor market.
