Vocational Education Oman Strengthening Collaboration with the Ministry of Education

We were pleased to welcome representatives from the Directorate General of Vocational Training at the Ministry of Education to the German University of Technology in Oman and the Oman Institute for Training Services.

The visit focused on exchanging expertise and best practices in vocational education and training, with particular emphasis on the vocational pathway for Grades 11 and 12. The programme included a comprehensive presentation highlighting available capabilities, training infrastructure, and vocational specializations, followed by constructive discussions on potential areas for collaboration and partnership.

The delegation also toured the university’s facilities, workshops, and laboratories, gaining first-hand insight into the learning environments that support applied and vocational education objectives. The visit provided a valuable platform for dialogue on strengthening vocational pathways, aligning education with labour market needs, and enhancing opportunities for students through coordinated institutional cooperation.
