Currently, there does not seem to be a coherent overall strategy for vocational education and training in Qatar.
A 2007 report by the Government of Qatar on ‘Turning Qatar into a Competitive Knowledge-Based Economy’ states that:
 |
 |
 |
there are few links and formal relationships between Qatari training institutions and the needs of the labour market |
 |
 |
 |
education and training institutions are highly separated with little co-ordination |
 |
 |
 |
there are no linkages between training and job career prospects. |
However, the same report adds that there are several initiatives now under consideration as part of the National Labor Market Strategy to improve vocational education as well as post-compulsory training.
These include:
 |
 |
 |
developing a National Qualification Framework |
 |
 |
 |
creating better links between education and the labour market |
 |
 |
 |
introducing career guidance and job counselling |
 |
 |
 |
enhancing the labour market relevance of school and tertiary education curricula |
 |
 |
 |
collecting and analysing outcomes in vocational and adult education and training. |
