National economic transformations and labor market requirements forced the teaching staff and the management team to focus on new transformations in terms of professional training. Following the study of the regional and local labor market, new professions were opened such as Cook, Confectioner, Technical Support Operator, Seamstress, Tailor. New practical training laboratories equipped according to current requirements were needed. In the last ten years, the infrastructure requirements for theoretical and practical training have been confirmed, thus 2 laboratories for tailors, seamstresses were redeveloped and equipped; 3 laboratories for cooks, confectioners; re-equipped 2 laboratories for the profession of food controllers; 2 laboratories for the profession of technical support operator. The living conditions of students in dormitories were improved.
