Central to Pärnu College strategy

 

Central to our strategy is the raising of entrepreneurial awareness and the creation of a well-prepared and qualified workforce. This involves a symbiotic relationship between entrepreneurship and education, ensuring that students' career paths align seamlessly with the specific needs of Pärnu county.

Recognising the pivotal role of knowledge transfer, we acknowledge that our current challenge lies in the qualification of human capital. While we possess strengths in various domains, the transition to a knowledge-intensive economic structure is impeded by the need for a more qualified workforce. Addressing this gap is crucial for propelling our economy into a future characterized by innovation and sustainable growth.
