In 2023, the number of females in short-cycle tertiary education programs involving study periods and/or work placements was 4. The forecast for 2024 to 2028 indicates a steady increase each year, starting at 5 in 2024 and rising to 8 by 2028. This represents a stable annual growth with a 20% increase from 2024 to 2025, approximately 16.7% from 2025 to 2026, zero growth from 2026 to 2027, and again a turn of around 14.3% from 2027 to 2028. Over this five-year forecast period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is anticipated to reflect this upward trend.
Looking ahead, future trends to watch for include potential impacts of technology and policy reforms that can further influence enrollment in short-cycle tertiary programs. Monitoring shifts in job market demands and educational funding will be key in understanding these dynamics.
