Over Half of Vocational Trainees Landed Jobs in Fiscal 2020-21

More than half (52%) of trainees in last year’s vocational training courses have found employment in different sectors, according to the director general of Supervision, Efficacy and Job Counseling Bureau with the Technical and Vocational Training Organization, affiliated to the Ministry of Cooperatives, Labor and Social Welfare.
“These trainees received theoretical as well as on-the-job training in workshops and we did not allow the Covid-19 pandemic to hold us back from offering services. Theoretical sessions were held online and workshop trainings were held in person by observing all health protocols to prevent the spread of the virus,” Alireza Taherpour Shalmani was quoted as saying by the news portal of Iran Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture.
The official noted that based on information derived from TVTO’s Employment Tracking System, job seekers who failed to find employment have stated lack of job opportunities, insufficient income, low skills and lack of adequate capital to start a business as their main problems.
