Spanish term or phrase: ámbito vocacional
Así, DuocUC afirma que una educación de calidad debe lograr una transformación en el educando. En el ***ámbito vocacional que le es propio,*** esta cualidad debe traducirse en una experiencia educativa capaz de agregar valor laboral, social y cultural al egresado.

El valor laboral del egresado se reconoce en su productividad como profesional o técnico. Es decir, en la aptitud para desempeñar con la máxima eficiencia y eficacia un oficio o trabajo concreto, según los requerimientos específicos de la función productiva que esté llamado a desempeñar.

-----

¡Hola, amigos!
Como ustedes saben, "educación vocacional" no es "vocational education" sino "professional training".
¿Cómo decimos, entonces, "ámbito vocacional"?
De antemano, muchas gracias por su ayuda.

En el ámbito vocacional que le es propio, esta calidad debe traducirse = In the context of professional training, which is xxxxx, it is imperative that this quality result in/translate into...

debe = must/should (or perhaps "it is imperative that...")

Espero que le sirva :-)

Thank you so much, Marcelo!

agree  Charles Davis: Yes; it means "en el ámbito de la educación vocacional", and "que le es propio" means that "el ámbito profesional" is the mission of DuocUC. Other docs from this university use "ámbito vocacional" in this sense too.
