Abstract

The study addresses a problem that has emerged recently, namely the gap between VET outcomes and the need for the labor market. The study aimed to create a strategy to harmonize the outcomes of vocational education with the need of the labor market. In order to achieve the objective of the study, the study used the quantitative analytical approach. The study population consisted of two groups: workers in institutions providing VET, and employers in the Palestinian market who have direct contact with these institutions. The study found that there is a weakness in updating and publishing statistics on education and the labor market in Palestine. The study also showed that there was no clear impact of demographic variables among graduates on their personal, social, professional and development skills alike. One of the study's most prominent recommendations was the need to work to implement the appropriate strategy of available possibilities that would maximize the harmonization of vocational education outcomes with labor market needs. In addition to focusing on the implementation of the establishment of the National Authority for VET and activating its role to promote the reality of VET. Besides, it was recommended to focus on creating a common system among institutions based on VET and the labor market, through which mutual feedback is provided between vocational training workers and employers.
