Professional education promotion campaign has started
The Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sport of Georgia, with the support of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), has launched a one-month campaign aimed at informing various target groups in the regions about the educational services offered by the vocational education system to the population of Georgia. The project is implemented within the framework of the "Private Sector Development and Technical Vocational Education and Training in the South Caucasus (PSD TVET SC)" program.
Information meetings will be held at vocational education institutions in 10 different cities, hosted by veteran rugby players Lexo Gugava and Nodar Andguladze.
Within the framework of the campaign, the first meeting was held at the "Aisi" vocational college in Kachreti. Along with the rugby players, the event was attended by Giorgi Vashakidze, Deputy Minister of Education, Science, Culture and Sport of Georgia, and Johannes Stritmatter, Deputy Director of the Private Sector Development and Technical Vocational Education and Training in the South Caucasus program.
"Today, we have officially launched the campaign to promote vocational education, within the framework of which we want to convince the private sector, current and prospective students that the Georgian economy needs many veterinarians, agronomists, winemakers, builders, and representatives of other professions, and vocational education is what offers this opportunity to those interested," stated Giorgi Vashakidze.
According to Johannes Stritmatter, the future begins here! Georgian youth can choose from a variety of modern professions. Young people will develop the knowledge and competencies essential for their professional lives through diploma programs, while those fortunate enough to participate in the dual program will not only acquire the necessary skills but also meet their future employers.
According to the organizers, within the framework of the campaign, meeting popular athletes, sharing their success stories, and emphasizing the importance of professions and professionalism will serve as an additional incentive for young people who are currently planning their future.
