Education and Vocational Training Encourage the Use of Technology - vocational students

Encouraging the use of technology in vocational education institutions aims to transform them from mere tools and machines into a thinking pattern and a problem-solving method. This approach provides a way of thinking about the use of knowledge, information, skills, technologies, and machines to enhance the capabilities of students and deepen their understanding of the labor markets, where various technologies abound in our present age.

Vocational education encourages awareness of technological developments, and institutions undertake the following:

  1. Transforming training workshops in vocational education institutions into facilities that rely on the latest technological means.
  2. Introducing modern technology used in professions to vocational training institutions.
  3. Teaching students and training them to use modern machines.
  4. Encouraging students to use modern technology and stay updated on advancements in their training field.
  5. Introducing technological applications to all specialties, such as automotive technology, communications, and CNC machines in metal forming and woodworking specialties.
  6. Providing modern computer labs and using the latest industrial design and electronic software.
  7. Integrating technology into training and education plans and providing all the necessary tools.
  8. Providing technological means to deliver information to students and not relying on the curriculum as the main source of education.
  9. Using LCD technology, smart boards, and the internet in the education process, as well as multimedia programs.
  10. Utilizing technology in theoretical preparation for students through modern computer labs.
  11. Using a microlearning approach by leveraging platforms like YouTube, videos, and simulations to improve practical performance.

Education and training usually depend on acquiring competencies, professional skills, and keeping up with technology to ensure students' readiness for direct integration into the job market and the ability to adapt to ongoing developments.
