Within the framework of the Vocational Education reform, a three-day seminar for the members of the Board entitled to the implementation of Short-Term Training Programs was opened by Tamar Kitiashvili - the Deputy Minister of Education, Science and Culture of Georgia.

“I think this is a very important stage in our lives, when the private sector comes into our system as a decision maker. I think this will lead to a huge breakthrough and ultimately, in consequence, our economy will receive highly skilled workers” Tamar Kitiashvili told members of the government.

The Board is a collegial body that is in charge of deciding which organization is to provide training programs/modules. The Council is mainly exemplified by representatives of the private sector and various associations.

The seminar will discuss issues such as the new standards of vocational education, the legislative framework, in conjunction with testing simulation work and evaluate the college’s preparation process.
