Official sources clarified that the project requires consolidating databases among relevant institutions to safeguard workers' rights and identify actual market needs. They noted that aligning educational outputs with employment demands will significantly contribute to creating sustainable job opportunities for the national workforce and establishing a clear strategic vision for the economic future.
