Secondary sources were used in the research such as books, academic journals, publications, reports, and periodic statistics. The research evaluates how TVET programs can bridge the gap between education and labor market demands. The study draws comparisons from successful international models like Germany, Malaysia, and China, highlighting how Palestine can adapt these frameworks to its unique socio-economic environment. The research suggests that TVET is a crucial driver in reducing unemployment, fostering economic growth, and equipping the Palestinian workforce with the competencies and capabilities needed to flourish in a modern economy. © 2024 IEEE.
