Kuwait

Positioned at the head of the Gulf of Arabia, Kuwait owns around 9% of the world’s oil reserves.

Labour market reforms aim to revitalise private sector employment, and these changes drive the need for job skilling and re-skilling. Most Kuwaitis still work in the public sector. With a growing population of young people, creating educational opportunities has never been so important.
