Expanding International Certification Providers: Private Sector Market Demand Survey

As part of the Youth, Technology and Jobs (YTJ) Project, the Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship (MoDEE) has established and is actively implementing the Career Accelerator Program and the Professional Training and Certification Program for both university students and educators. These programs are currently delivered in collaboration with six international certification providers, supporting skills development across digital, technical, and professional domains.

Building on this foundation, MoDEE is now seeking to expand its pool of international certification providers, including CompTIA, Cisco, and INE, across key areas such as IT, networking, cybersecurity, and advanced technical skills.

In this context, this survey aims to capture insights from private sector organizations and industry experts regarding market needs, priority technical domains, and the relevance of international certification programs to current and future workforce demands. The findings will support evidence-based planning for future pilot initiatives and structured rollouts, ensuring strong alignment with labor market requirements.

We kindly request your support in completing this survey. Your input will play a vital role in identifying in-demand skills and certifications, shaping industry-aligned training pathways, and strengthening collaboration between the private sector, training providers, and academic institutions.
