Online activities for vocational orientation for students were held

Fun and informative online events were held at schools to inform the students about the opportunities of vocational education and different professions.

The activities involved 800 students from 40 general education institutions, who were introduced to the specifics of different vocations, the educational process of colleges and the working principles of various companies. In addition, the individuals were given the opportunity to get information about the vocations of interest to them and to meet with specialists working in the field.
