In an era marked by rapid technological, economic, and social changes, vocational education and training emerge as fundamental pillars to promote sustainable and inclusive development. This meeting aims to highlight how investing in people, through education and upskilling, is essential not only to stimulate economic growth, but also to address global challenges, reduce inequalities and ensure that no one is left behind.In discussion will be the importance of professional education and training in the context of development cooperation, focusing on the role that MAECI, AICS, universities, sector experts and companies can play in catalyzing effective initiatives for the strengthening of human resources in vulnerable contexts.
