Vocational Training
MAM offers a range of tools to equip individuals with the skills necessary to enter the workforce or advance their careers. One of these tools is our vocational training program. Due to high demand and limited capacity, acceptance into vocational training is not guaranteed, and all applicants must complete the required application process to be considered.
These trainings are competitive, and individuals are encouraged to continue exploring alternative career plans and opportunities rather than postponing career development while awaiting a potential training placement.
