Professional and Vocational Training
Professional and vocational training of workers refers to structured learning programs designed to enhance employees’ knowledge, skills, and abilities for effective job performance and career development.
Vocational Training focuses on practical, hands-on skills required for specific trades or technical jobs. It prepares workers for immediate employment or to perform specific tasks within their roles.
Professional Training develops broader career skills, including communication, leadership, management, and industry-specific knowledge. It supports long-term career growth and prepares workers for higher responsibilities.
Together, these training programs ensure that workers are both technically competent in their current roles and professionally equipped for future opportunities.
