Applications for Professional Courses, promoted by various educational institutions, are now open through the Balcão dos Fundos (Funds Desk). These courses aim to develop social, scientific, and professional skills, enabling students to achieve Level 4 of the National Qualifications Framework and preparing them for further studies or employment.
The training pathways include a strong component of work-based learning, in collaboration with the economic sector, offering a more practical and technical approach. Public and private professional schools, hotel and tourism schools, and private and cooperative education schools are eligible for support.
Funding is available in the North, Centre, and Alentejo regions. The application period will run until 6:00 PM on October 24th.
