Beneficiaries of this programme are 14 teachers of secondary vocational education in vocational schools from the prefecture of Rodopi who are interested in developing skills so that they can guide their students in their smooth transition from their vocational school to their workplace. They are teachers with a special interest in following new trends and policies in Vocational Education and Training and getting them across to the main beneficiaries, i.e students. They support in practice, that is, the rational of constant learning, a process of constantly reviewing knowledge and the image that is formed concerning this knowledge.
