Regarding the expected number of new trainees for the 1st year, it amounts to 271,462 trainees of all types and levels of training combined, said Tricha, stressing that "in order to better meet the skills needs by companies and improve the employability of young people, the OFPPT has rationalized and harmonized its offer in terms of training courses, in particular through the elimination of 92 courses considered obsolete or unattractive, the restructuring of about fifteen courses and the launch of 4 new sectors presenting new specialties required by the job market''.

Taking into account the current pandemic situation, the OFPPT is adopting the hybrid mode and the training will be provided mainly remotely for the theoretical component, with the organization of few in-person courses for professional skills which require practical work, and this in small groups, she said, noting that the training programs have been adapted to the hybrid training system with an optimization of the overall hourly volume to 30%.

The official also announced the establishment of the OFPPT ACADEMY platform, which allows trainees to access a multitude of educational resources perfectly suited for the architecture of the offered training programs.

The OFPPT also offers its trainees access to an e-learning platform, dedicated to learning foreign languages ​​(French, English and Spanish), as well as a digital library, giving access to more than 40,000 reference works, covering different fields, she said.
