It's a "short", they have a different link.

It is free and funded by contractors in the area who come in and help to prepare the young to find what kind of work interests them and gives them initial training so the contractors do not have to put so much time for their workers to train these people.
I forgot to say that those courses are free, they are paid by the same state entity that pays the unemployment subsidies, the IEFP.
Quote:In fact the guy who taught one of those things at the college asked me for advice quite often in building so he could teach it to his class. He might have been educated in reading things from a book, but had no practical first hand experience at doing things.
At least he was intelligent enough to understand that he knew less than you and was not proud to ask for help.

That problem also happens in Portugal, but not is not as marked as that.
The high school teaching method does not prepare the students to the teaching methods used in Universities. Many years ago we had a special intermediate course to prepare for university those that had finished high school. When I was in my last year in high school there was an extra year that worked as kind of preparation for university, as the teaching method was slightly different from the previous high school years.
I don't know how things are now, this was more than 40 years ago.
