The Libyan Ministry of Technical and Vocational Education leads and actively participates in numerous national TVET (Technical and Vocational Education and Training) networks and collaborative initiatives across the country.
Despite the current political divide, the Ministry remains committed to strengthening coordination and cooperation among all TVET stakeholders to ensure a coherent and effective system.
Some of the major national TVET networks and partnerships in which the Ministry is involved include:
The National TVET Coordination Committee: Chaired by the Ministry, this committee brings together representatives from various TVET institutions and government entities across Libya. It meets regularly to align strategic priorities, share best practices, and coordinate joint efforts.
The National TVET Skills Council: The Ministry plays a central role in this council, which includes industry leaders, employers’ associations, and training providers. The council works to identify skill gaps, develop occupational standards, and ensure that TVET programs respond to labor market needs.
The National Research and Innovation Network in TVET: The Ministry collaborates with academic institutions, research centers, and innovation hubs across Libya to conduct labor market assessments, pilot new training methodologies, and promote technological advancement within the TVET sector.
The National Quality Assurance Framework for TVET: The Ministry leads the development and implementation of a unified quality assurance system for all TVET institutions in Libya, ensuring consistent standards and continuous improvement.
The National TVET Certification and Accreditation System: The Ministry works closely with relevant authorities to establish a comprehensive framework for the recognition and transferability of TVET qualifications, facilitating learner and workforce mobility.
Through these networks and national partnerships, the Libyan Ministry of Technical and Vocational Education aims to enhance coordination, coherence, and the overall effectiveness of the TVET system — ultimately benefiting learners, employers, and the broader Libyan economy.
