The Ministry of Education and Higher Education has recently signed an agreement with Silatech to implement the career guidance system “Tamheed” in secondary schools and centres affiliated to the Ministry.
Silatech, which is a regional social organisation and works to enable jobs and expand economic opportunities for young Arabs, is going to introduce Tahmeed programme to give guidance to individuals selected by the Ministry and schools.
The agreement was signed by Fawziya Al Khater, Director of Education Institute at the Ministry of Education and Sabah Ismail Hidrous, CEO of Silatech. The Ministry is keen to guide students towards suitable academic options and prepare them for the labour market, said Al Khater about the agreement.
This agreement will help in establishing academic guidance section to explore student’s talents, tendencies and guide them to choose the suitable area of specialisations, she added.
One of the major problems being faced by our youth is selection of unstudied areas of specialisation which affect their chances of getting jobs, said the Silatech CEO.
Tamheed career programme is going to prepare youth to enter the labour market by promoting large-scale job creation, entrepreneurship, access to capital and markets, and the participation and engagement of young people in economic and social development, Sabah Al Hidarous said.
