Skills around the World: Iraq

There is no clear involvement for industry in the vocational education training process with regards to updating curricula or creating new specialisations.

A few examples of vocational education training working with industry include:

Staff in state-owned companies can participate in specialised training workshops.
People working in the public industrial sector can go to FTE institutions or colleges to obtain technical degrees to advance their careers.
A ‘Graduates Following up Committee’ collects feedback from employers on gaps in graduate skills; this is then sent to the FTE so it can adjust the curriculum or offer practical training to students. The private sector has virtually no engagement at all.

In addition, committees that revise curricula ask for advice from people within the public industrial sector. This ensures that curricula take into account the skills that industry needs from its employees.
