Technical and vocational education and training (TVET) plays a critical role in developing essential labor market skills. In Saudi Arabia, participation in TVET has traditionally been stigmatized in favor of white-collar jobs. However, the importance of skilled labor has increased in Saudi Arabia’s private sector as the country’s Vision 2030 focuses on moving the economy from oil to investment. This quantitative study investigates the role of recent socio-economic transformations in changing attitudes toward TVET. Statistical analysis of a questionnaire distributed to 1007 TVET students identified a significant relationship between perceptions of TVET and gender, family income, and parental educational level.

技术和职业教育与培训（TVET）在发展基本劳动力市场技能方面发挥着关键作用。在沙特阿拉伯，传统上对参加TVET的人都加了污名，以支持白领工作。然而，由于沙特阿拉伯的《 2030年远景规划》着重于将经济从石油转向投资，因此在沙特阿拉伯的私营部门中，熟练劳动力的重要性已经提高。这项定量研究调查了最近的社会经济转型在改变对职业技术教育与培训态度方面的作用。对向1007名职业技术教育与培训学生分发的调查表的统计分析确定了职业技术教育与培训的感知与性别，家庭收入和父母教育水平之间存在显着的关系。
