The Public Authority for Applied Education and Training announced its collaboration with the Public Authority for Manpower to organize the “Career Pathways Employment Forum,” scheduled for November 24–25, 2026, at the Central Library located at the Authority’s headquarters in Shuwaikh. This initiative comes within the framework of strengthening institutional partnerships between government entities and the private sector, and intensifying efforts to empower Kuwaiti youth and open new avenues for their participation in the labor market.
In a press statement, the Authority noted that organizing the forum reflects both parties’ commitment to building direct communication bridges between educational and training institutions and labor market entities, and enhancing the alignment of educational and training outcomes with the private sector’s needs for national specialties, skills, and competencies. This contributes to supporting employment opportunities for Kuwaiti youth and enhancing their role in economic development.
The Authority highlighted that the forum includes workshops and specialized events focused on professional qualification and development, as well as career counseling. It also features a track that brings together representatives of the private sector with colleges, institutes, and scientific departments within the Authority to identify current and future labor market needs, leveraging these insights to develop and introduce new educational and training programs and specialties.
The Authority emphasized that this partnership represents a significant step toward enhancing integration among the education, training, and employment systems, and solidifying the role of the private sector as a key partner in attracting national talent and providing genuine job opportunities for Kuwaiti youth.
The Authority called on private sector companies and institutions to actively participate in the forum and contribute to achieving its objectives by offering job opportunities and conducting direct interviews with graduates, thereby fostering sustainable partnerships and supporting the construction of a promising professional future for national talent.
