The forecast for short-cycle tertiary education, particularly in vocational and professional training involving study period and work placement, shows a steady upward trend from 2024 to 2028. The number of participants is projected to rise from 2.51 thousand in 2024 to 3.11 thousand in 2028. Compared to 2023, this indicates a starting point in the context of a continued increase. Year-on-year growth demonstrates a consistent increment of approximately 5% over these years. The compound annual growth rate reflects an average annual increase of about 5.45% over the forecast period.
Future trends to watch for include the potential impact of digital transformation on vocational training, increased international collaboration through credit mobility programs, and the shifting demands of labor markets which might alter the types of skills being in demand. Additionally, the influence of government policies on education and employment could significantly impact growth in this sector.
