to qualify and develop national human resources in technical and vocational fields to cater for market needs
to provide high quality and efficient training programmes to qualify trainees so they can obtain suitable jobs
to deal successfully with work sectors and to carry out technical and vocational training programmes
to establish strategic partnerships with various work sectors to carry out technical and vocational training programmes
to increase awareness about the importance of working in the technical and vocational sectors and to provide suitable opportunities for ongoing training
to provide a safe and motivational work and training environment at the Corporation for trainers and trainees
to encourage the private sector to invest in the technical and vocational training field
to strengthen the relationship between the national educational and training sectors and seek integration between the two
to increase the training that supports national plans concerned with the transfer of technologies.
