Zsolt Feldman: vocational training offers young people a life path
Vocational training offers young people a life path, a constant sense of success and the possibility of continuous renewal – said Zsolt Feldman, the State Secretary responsible for agriculture and rural development of the Ministry of Agriculture (AM) on Wednesday in Budapest, at the closing event of the 16th Vocational Star Festival.
In his greeting, the state secretary emphasized the importance of openness, which is needed not only by those who are about to choose a career and those studying a profession, but also by companies striving for success. Among them, the ones that can find the professionals of the future the fastest, help them at the local level, and build the professional background of the institutions that prepare them can remain competitive, he said. He added that, like all professional groups, agriculture is also developing at a rapid pace. It is the responsibility of the Ministry of Agriculture to draw attention to these changes, so that those who are about to choose a career can see modern, 21st-century activities in agriculture-related work. Prepared specialists who make responsible decisions will be needed in the future as well, so all the conditions for their training must be ensured – said Zsolt Feldman.
MAGOSZ is pleased with the interest of young people
István Jakab greeted the students, their teachers and family members on behalf of the Association of Hungarian Farmers’ Cooperatives and Farmers’ Cooperatives (MAGOSZ). The president of the organization also highlighted the pace of changes in technology and added: seeing the results of the professional competitions, he believes that the young Hungarians are keeping up with the challenges, are able to cope with the ever-changing competition and are open to professional innovations. Today, almost 22,000 people study in agricultural vocational training, one and a half times as many as 6 years ago, he said.
