Escola Profissional do Minho

Description

In 1985 the Noroeste Pioneira professional training project was born, inserted in the cooperative dynamics of Novos Pioneiros, whose precepts of economy and social welfare formed the principles and values of the school. For several years, Noroeste Pioneira, in partnership with its promoting entity, developed countless actions whose success guaranteed hundreds of young people professional qualification.

In 1999, after a long period of reflection and a 10-year experience capital, the school’s identification and symbol were changed, its short and medium term objectives were reinforced and a new strategic direction of cooperation among other local institutions was defined. The Escola Profissional do Minho – Esprominho was born – an educational establishment, legally constituted under the Decree-Law nº4/98 and other legislation in force, recognized by the Ministry of Education, with the status of a private and cooperative educational establishment.

The vocational training, taught by the School, developed in two distinct poles, located in the two district capital cities of the Minho region: Braga and Viana do Castelo. Currently, Esprominho is only in Braga, possessing adequate spaces for the development and support of training activities.
