Programs: “Horizons” Dual Education Program
About the program
The “Horizons” Dual Education Program, designed to foster human capital development, introduces a new educational model into Armenia’s general education system. This innovative approach is personalized, taking into account the unique capabilities of each learner, as well as the distinct resources and industries of their local community.
By implementing this dual education model in the high schools of Armenia’s regions, the program provides students with a blended learning experience, integrating theoretical knowledge acquired in general education schools with practical, hands-on activities conducted within local businesses and industries. This direct engagement with real-world work environments enhances their professional skills and career readiness.
Recognizing that each community has its own unique character, occupations, and traditions, the program is tailored to leverage local opportunities and resources to bridge the gap between education and employment. We firmly believe that the continuous implementation of such educational programs in the provinces will not only advance the labor market but also make life in Armenia’s regions more engaging, sustainable, and appealing for young people.
As an outcome of the “Horizons” Dual Education Program, students gain foundational professional knowledge and skills that enable them to confidently enter the workforce. Additionally, by helping students explore their interests and talents, the program assists them in making informed career choices—whether that means pursuing higher education or directly integrating into the labor market.
By investing in innovative education models, the program creates a skilled, future-ready workforce and ensures that Armenia’s youth have the tools and opportunities they need to thrive in a competitive and evolving job market.
