The Technical Education Authority, affiliated with the Imam Hussain Holy Shrine, has signed a partnership agreement with the Start Hub Foundation for Entrepreneurship to launch the "Riyadat Mihan" (Entrepreneurship of Professions) initiative. The initiative aims to empower students, graduates, and youth to transform their skills into entrepreneurial projects that contribute to meeting the needs of several vital sectors and supporting economic development.

In a statement to the official website, the Head of the Authority, Dr. Abbas Al-Daami, said, "This initiative represents an important step toward linking the outputs of technical education with labor market requirements, and creating an incubating environment for youth ideas and initiatives, which helps transform skills into viable projects."

He explained that "the initiative targets vocational high school students, universities, technical institutes, graduates, and startup owners through an applied training program that focuses on developing innovative solutions to challenges facing the agriculture, industry, religious tourism, hospitality, transportation, and digital transformation sectors."

He pointed out that "participants will work on developing their projects and ideas, culminating in presenting them before a specialized judging committee to select distinguished projects, incubate and support them, and connect them with public and private sector entities."

The initiative comes under the slogan "From Skill to Project... Emerging Solutions for Promising Sectors," as part of the Authority's efforts to enhance youth entrepreneurial capabilities and invest their skills in establishing projects that contribute to revitalizing the economy and creating new job opportunities.
