Across a network of 513 institutes, the Office announces an overall capacity of 424,000 training places. Classes for first-year trainees will begin on September 11, and 18 new establishments open their doors this year.

The Office says it cut its training map to fit the employment roadmap, the 2030 energy strategy and the industrial sovereignty guidelines, and opened courses where the trades are short of hands, from tourism to the gaming industry and cybersecurity.

The catalog has 193 new courses this year, out of 658 across 19 sectors. Added to that are a guidance network raised to 75 centers and the 31,000 apprentices the Office intends to train under the Tadaroj program.
