The 17th edition of Algeria's "Khatwa" career guidance and training fair is set to take place across several provinces, commencing in Constantine on October 10. The event is organized under the auspices of the Ministry of Knowledge Economy, Startups, and Micro-enterprises, and the Ministry of Vocational Training and Education. This annual gathering has become a significant platform for thousands of Algerian youths seeking opportunities in higher education, vocational training, and entrepreneurship.
The fair will travel to Bejaia on October 17 and conclude in Ourgla on October 21. Its primary objective is to bring guidance and training opportunities closer to young people across the country. "Khatwa" focuses on three main areas: entrepreneurship, career management, and vocational training and higher education. This year's edition features over 120 exhibitors representing training institutions, universities, private schools, companies, and organizations supporting entrepreneurship.
The event is expected to attract thousands of visitors interested in exploring available opportunities in education, training, and employment. It provides a platform for visitors to meet experts and professionals, learn about available training programs, and discover job and internship opportunities offered by participating institutions and organizations. The program also includes practical workshops and lectures led by specialists in various fields.
The "Khatwa 2026" fair offers insights into future professions and helps young people adapt to the rapidly changing job market. All activities at the fair are free and open to the public, reflecting the commitment to equal opportunities and empowering Algerian youth to build their professional futures with confidence and awareness.
The fair's organizers aim to facilitate interactions between young people and institutions offering education and training programs. By doing so, they hope to bridge the gap between the skills acquired through education and training and the needs of the labor market. This initiative is part of Algeria's efforts to support youth in their career choices and enhance their employability.
Over the years, "Khatwa" has established itself as a premier event for Algerian youth seeking to make informed decisions about their educational and professional paths. The fair's success can be attributed to its inclusive approach, bringing together a wide range of stakeholders from the education and training sectors. By providing a platform for dialogue and exchange, "Khatwa" contributes to the development of a skilled and competitive workforce in Algeria.
The "Khatwa 2026" fair is a testament to Algeria's commitment to investing in its youth and supporting their transition into the workforce.
