Following the completion of the admission campaign to vocational schools, the Ministry of Education has compiled a ranking of the most popular professions. The most popular are: cook, car mechanic, electric and gas welder, confectioner, driver and tractor driver. Also, the top ten most sought-after professions in the Ukrainian labor market in terms of the number of vacancies on job search sites include cook, driver, and mechanic. UNN writes about this with reference to the Ministry of Education.

In 2024, more than 94,803 thousand students chose vocational education, and a total of 219,438 people started their studies.

Trends in vocational school enrollment in 2024 have changed. The Ministry of Education noted that students now demonstrate a willingness to choose professions that businesses need today and will be in demand in the future.

Laboring professions are the backbone of Ukraine's economy, especially during the reconstruction period. Our task is to convey to young people how important their role in this process is. We need to explain that vocational education is about making a conscious choice, because the motivation to choose these specialties should come not only from the demand of the labor market, but also from the students' understanding that they can fully realize themselves and build a successful career by choosing vocational education

- said Minister of Education and Science Oksen Lisovyi.

We received the largest number of applications for training under the regional order:

  • Dnipropetrovs'k region - 5423 students
  • Lviv region - 4829 students 
  • м. Kyiv - 4526 students

The three regions that received the most applications for state-funded training:

  • Kharkiv region - 809 students 
  • Odesa region - 435 students 
  • Khmelnytsky region - 426 students

According to Deputy Minister of Education and Science Dmytro Zavhorodniy, vocational schools are increasingly adapting to the labor market, and students are more likely to choose complex professions such as turner or welder.

Add

Starting this year, students can choose a profession and a specific vocational school on the website Vocational School Online.

In addition, this year, for the second time, applicants were able to apply for admission online. In 2024, 7261 students submitted such applications.

Recall

The Government of Ukraine has adopted a new list of fields and specialties, reducing their number from 28 to 11. This will bring Ukrainian higher education closer to European standards and facilitate academic mobility of students.
