Duration: 2011. – 2013.
Key activities:
By exchanging best practices and experience, prepare a plan in order to promote technical professions and increase interest in such careers among high school and university students, as well as find a way to overcome differences between the necessary knowledge and skills possessed by employees and those actually required by their companies.
