Valmiera Technical School has been a pioneer in cooperating with local businesses, creating a dual labour-environment-based education programmes. This model requires the learner to spend only one or two days a week in an educational institution and to work the rest of the time in close cooperation with a company from the local community. In this way young people become more entrepreneurial and learn how to adapt and integrate in a new environment. The school has a successful collaboration with Ltd “Valmiera Glass Group”.
