She clarified that this step is part of the ministry’s strategy to enhance the policy of “Kuwaitization” and align educational outcomes with labor market requirements, while also opening new career opportunities for Kuwaiti youth to work in cooperative societies and technical fields.
She emphasized that true investment in Kuwaiti youth begins with qualifying them in the required specialties, affirming the continuation of cooperation with PAAET to develop national competencies and enhance employment opportunities, thereby contributing to improving the efficiency of the cooperative sector and achieving sustainability in its operations.
