We accept that “education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world” (Nelson Madela) and thus our vision has always been to provide our learners of all ages with the key competences and skills in order to equip them to explore their potential and capabilities in reaching out to succeed in life.Our contribution to achieving the targets set in Europe 2020 Strategy has introduced us to the world of collaboration, building of knowledge and skills alliances, mobility of policies and good practices that will enrich the quality and competitiveness of the services provided.We have opened up new routes for raising the effectiveness of our education and training programmes in order to equip learners with employability and entrepreneurship skills for the changing labour market for growth and development.The economic crisis has placed education, training and research in the spotlight for offering solutions to the challenges faced by the EU Member States. We are committed to make the potentially “lost generation” into a “generation of smart, sustainable and inclusive growth”.The main aim of our partnership is to offer non-formal opportunities for young people to acquire employability, entrepreneurship and digital skills to support their transition from school to the world of work thus achieving a better skills match and career orientation. The project’s main aim is to facilitate students’ induction into the world of work by connecting the theoretical knowledge they acquire at school with the world of work.
