LT5.A3.2: Redimensioning offer of Professional Training
The estimate of the needs of people trained with intermediate qualifications (basic, middle and higher technicians) is expected to be much higher than the existing one, so the redimensioning of the supply of these lessons is essential for economic growth.
The increase in the number of places is an absolute necessity of our educational and training system in a number of places that has been estimated according to the response capacity of the Educational Administrations, responsible for formalizing this offer. It is an initial impulse with the vocation of becoming the embryo of a process that allows, in the medium term, a perfect adjustment between effort and training offer, and needs and absorption capacity of the productive sectors.
