It also sharpens our cooperation with companies. Through our projects, we can also map curriculum content, for example in the case of industrial clerks, which should stay abroad but, depending on the size of the company, which cannot be offered by the company itself. With regard to the secondment of educational staff, the focus in Estonia was on the continuation of the school partnership in connection with the goals of digitalisation and office management.

We also want to involve the companies in the external effect, keyword apprentice marketing. The stay ends with the award of the KIC, Kaufmann International, certified by the German-Irish Chamber of Foreign Trade. Plus Europass.
