SPE plays an important role in the training of a skilled workforce that meets the needs of various sectors of the economy. It aims to provide students not only with professional knowledge and skills, but also with the formation of general cultural competencies. The importance of vocational education lies in the fact that it ensures the socio-economic mobility of the population, promotes the integration of graduates into society and increases their social status.
