The economy is sending the message that there will be demand for highly-trained people who are adequately prepared for the new digital era and who are committed to European culture and its work ethic, the Hungarian Prime Minister stressed at a festival.
”The government will develop and launch a number of new schemes together with representative bodies from professions, will arrange digital skills development for 260,000 workers, and will provide special scholarships for those studying IT”, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said at the opening event of the Szakma Sztár (“Vocational Star”) Festival, organised by the Hungarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry. He added that the scholarship system for vocational students will be further developed. This initiative has already been started in occupations with skills shortages, and opportunities for student placements will also be made available.
Mr. Orbán urged students to take account of business and the economy, because the demands of the economy will decide who will find a job immediately after finishing their studies, and who could find themselves in a “dead-end” because of a bad decision. Today, he stated, the economy is sending the message that there will be demand for highly-trained people – including tens of thousands of new IT engineers – who are adequately prepared for the new digital era and who are committed to European culture and its work ethic. Mr. Orbán also reassured young people that they will always come first, and that job opportunities offered by Hungary will not be given to others – either to guest workers or migrants.
