When it comes to employment opportunities of graduates of vocational training, Hungary ranks third, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). The OECD Education at a Glance 2023 report presents the performance of education systems in a global context, showing that the employment rate of people aged 25-34 with professional qualifications in Hungary “is exceptionally high”, with the country coming third after Norway and Iceland, the culture and innovation ministry said on Saturday.
Fully 38% of 24-34-year-olds obtain a vocational diploma and are less exposed to the risk of unemployment than those with general secondary education, and can expect a 31% higher salary, the ministry said in a statement.
