Agriculture and the food industry are now unthinkable without innovation, developments, digitalization and the achievements of modern science. The government is supporting the transfer of professional knowledge with significant resources so that students can gain competitive knowledge in vocational training – said Imre Hubai, the State Secretary for Agriculture at the Ministry of Agriculture, at the handover of the developments of the Kenderes Agricultural Technical School, Vocational School and Dormitory on Friday.

Imre Hubai highlighted that the equipment now handed over – including a modern agricultural tractor, a minibus and a bakery and confectionery workshop – significantly contribute to strengthening the institution’s practice-oriented training. The new machines and equipment allow students to acquire the knowledge necessary for their profession through the most modern technologies. This also helps to ensure their long-term success, since “the challenges of tomorrow cannot be met with yesterday’s knowledge”. The workshop not only provides professional foundations, but also conveys value: through the bread and cakes made by hand, students can experience their work and its usefulness. Nothing shows the importance of the profession better than the fact that bread has been a symbol of life, survival, and survival since ancient times, he added.

That is why the government contributed more than 980 million forints of support to ten different developments of the Great Plain Agricultural Vocational Training Center within the framework of the Rural Development Program. The vocational training taking place in the institution now not only ensures quick employment, but also lays the foundation for the possibility of furthering into higher education. According to the data, more and more young people are choosing this direction, so vocational training offers real prospects. Imre Hubai expressed special thanks to all those who participated in the preparation and implementation of the projects. The developments now handed over open up new opportunities, contributing to the further development of Hungarian agricultural vocational training, which is also successful in the world.
