In a concern of innovation and modernization, and also, in order to meet the needs of the market and the productive sector, the National Institute of Vocational Training (INFP) will make available new training courses in other sectors in partnership with institutions and countries partners of Haiti, such as: the sanitation professions (in partnership with France); sea-related activities including shipbuilding (in conjunction with the International Labor Office); cultural occupations and cosmetology (with the support of Belgium through APEFE); robotics (with the support of the Mormons Association in Haiti); training in rural areas, photovoltaics, E-Learning and entrepreneurship.

The Directorate General of the INFP is in talks with Morocco and Tunisia to institute the global professions, such as aeronautics. In addition, short courses will be given in heavy equipment driving. Discussions are already under way with a North Miami firm to conduct paid internships. In addition, Maguy Durcé, the Director General of INFP, intends to propose to the Head of State the integration of approximately 3,000 young people in Public and Private Vocational Training Centers through a three-year scholarship program years.
