Good!  Hands on experience is invaluable in the real world.

Some years ago, Portugal was in a bad economic situation and many young people moved to other EU countries, mostly to the UK (then part of the EU).

One of the things I do at work is translations, so I translated several school diplomas, and most of those that already had a job waiting for them had diplomas from professional training courses, as, apparently, the Portuguese professional training courses are very good, and people with a two years training course has more knowledge about the studied topic than someone from Germany, for example, with an University diploma.

Also, professional training can be more specific, like we see in the video, something Universities are not good at, even if they are good Universities.
