I International Workshop on Quality and Sustainable Vocational Training "Educate, train, employ"
The current context of neoliberal globalization, accentuated by rapid and astonishing technological advances and the international financial crisis, among other factors that have an unfavorable impact on educational systems, conditions the long-awaited achievement of a scientific-technological education with the capacity to acquire new knowledge constantly, so necessary to achieve access to decent employment. Unfortunately, the technological gap between the economic world in continuous transformation and educational systems continues to grow. This difference is even more noticeable between rich and poor countries. That is why, faced with this reality, international organizations such as UNESCO have stated that: "Good vocational training for employment lies in ensuring that young people have the relevant skills for a rapidly evolving labor market." In this sense, raising the quality of vocational training for employment is a priority for nations.
For this reason, the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Cuba, through the National Directorate of Technical and Professional Education and the Meliá Habana Hotel, together with the Enrique José Varona University of Pedagogical Sciences, the Scientific Educational Exchange Company, the Agencies of the Central Administration of the State of the Republic of Cuba and the international organizations that accompany the country in the training of the qualified middle-level workforce, invite you to participate from November 26 to 28, 2024 in Havana, Cuba in the 1st International Workshop on quality and sustainable vocational training, under the "Educate, Train, Employ."
