344 Trainees Graduate from Technical and Vocational Courses in Kabul

The Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs under the Taliban administration announced that 344 trainees received graduation certificates after completing six months of theoretical and practical training in various technical and vocational fields during a ceremony held in Kabul.

At the event, Mawlawi Mohammd Zahid Ahmadzai, Deputy Minister for Labor Affairs, stated that technical and vocational training programs have been established across all provinces targeting youth deprived of education, recovered addicts, vulnerable groups, and disabled Mujahideen, based on labor market needs. According to him, the goal of these programs is to reduce unemployment and provide job opportunities for groups with limited access to employment.

Ahmadzai highlighted the role of these trainings in the economic self-sufficiency of families, adding that graduates can enter the job market upon completion of the courses and earn a lawful livelihood to support their families through the skills they have acquired. However, some experts consistently emphasize that the success of such programs depends on the creation of real job opportunities and the overall improvement of the country’s economic conditions.

Meanwhile, Mawlawi Rahimullah Sarrah, Director General of Skills Development, spoke about the importance of entrepreneurship from the perspective of Islam and urged graduates to effectively utilize their skills and experiences in service to their communities and families.

According to the information provided, these trainees were educated in fields such as plumbing, electrical repairs, mobile phone restoration, computer training, and website design—areas that, if supported by a suitable job market, could meet part of the service needs of urban areas.
