The Director General of Vocational Training and Higher Artistic Education, Antoni Baos, highlighted “the firm commitment that the Regional Ministry of Education and Vocational Training is making with these courses, courses aimed at students who obtain their vocational training qualifications. These are master’s degrees and specialisation courses that are strategic for the Government as they clearly contribute to the consolidation and diversification of our productive fabric, while at the same time they are courses with a very high rate of job placement”.
A further step in the specialisation of vocational training graduates
The specialisation courses aim to complement the skills of people who already have a vocational training qualification and facilitate lifelong learning, as well as improve employability and productivity.
