Professional training
The vocational training system was very little developed after independence. It was made up of around forty establishments inherited from the professional training of adults created in Algeria in 1947.
To support both economic and social demand, public authorities have undertaken to progressively and quantitatively and qualitatively adapt the vocational training system to its socio-economic environment.
The period 1980/1984 saw the emergence of vocational training as an autonomous sector thanks to the creation of a state secretariat for vocational training whose mission was notably to define a national vocational training policy and to decide on and implement a vast program of construction and equipment of vocational training establishments.
Thanks to the economic reforms undertaken during the decade in 1990 as part of the transition to the market economy, the vocational training sector undertook a reform program with a view to adapting to its environment. This is how an integrated vocational training system adopted by the government was implemented and vocational training was opened to private investment.
The 2000s were characterized by the implementation of a reform process in the vocational training sector which was entrusted with new missions relating to vocational education through the creation of a ministry of vocational training and education during the year 2002.
To carry out the missions assigned to it, the vocational training sector has its own means and prerogatives in terms of organization, cooperation and regulation of the national vocational training and education system.
