requires integrated work and strong partnerships to ensure the provision of the
best training solutions while pointing out at the same time the great impact that
technology has on business and economic levels, and the importance of
directing investments towards developing the skills of the human element to
achieve a long-term impact that ensures the sustainability of economic and
social development.
