 Since 2013, we can provide our High Vocational Training students the opportunity to take their two months of their On-the-Job learning period in a foreign country. From there to now, one higher level student per year has travelled to Firenze and they have completed his 2nd year of the Higher Level Training Course there. Since 2013 we got developed our own Leonardo da Vinci Programme, thanks to which three VET students have done a part of their on-the-job learning period in Florence (Italy) and Jyväskyla (Finland) companies.
