iMOVE on Trade Mission in Saudi Arabia and Oman

BONN, Germany - German Providers of Vocational Training Visit Potential Cooperation
Partners From April 3rd to 8th, 2009

Arab countries work hard to meet the demands of a growing population by
introducing comprehensive education reforms and initiatives. German-Arab
collaboration in the education sector is of strategic importance for future
employability and highly desired on both sides. In order to strengthen mutual
exchange and to pursue joint training projects, iMOVE organises a trade
mission to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Sultanate of Oman in one of
the most dynamic regions in the world. From April 3rd to 8th, 15 German
providers of vocational education and training will have the chance to learn
more about current cooperation opportunities and to establish contacts with
high-ranking representatives from the education sector and other industries.
Andreas Storm, Parliamentary State Secretary of the Federal Ministry of
Education and Research will lead the delegation of training providers and
other training experts from Germany.

The trade mission aims at fruitful relations by strengthening bilateral
cooperation on government level as well as through partnerships and business
relations between educational institutions, training providers and
enterprises. “Training - Made in Germany” stands for the internationally
recognised quality of the German vocational training system. It is based on
long experience and characterised by practice-orientation and a strong
responsiveness to the demands of the labour market. For more information see:
