These institutions play a crucial role in preparing individuals for specific trades and professions, bridging the gap between general education and the demands of the labor market. They offer programs that combine theoretical knowledge with practical skills, ensuring graduates are equipped with the competencies needed for employment.

The curriculum in kutseõppeasutusteks is designed in close cooperation with employers and industry experts, guaranteeing that the skills taught are relevant and in demand.
