CEPROF - CENTROS ESCOLARES DE ENSINO PROFISSIONAL LDA
CEPROF is an SME constituted in 1991, whose only business is to own and to manage the Vocational School of Espinho (ESPE), which was also established in the same year. The school is national leader in elaborating and providing VET training on new technologies and tourism to 400 trainees (15-20 years old) by 40 teachers. In Portugal the VET schools have the tradition to be predominantly frequented by students of the lower socio-economical strata and ESPE is no exception, attracting also students with vulnerable socio-economic backgrounds and with physical and cognitive impairments. Furthermore, the lowest socio-economical strata are the ones which, like in every society, have higher rates of digital illiteracy. Together it indicates that within the three years of the duration of the VET trainings offered by ESPE, CEPROF has been able to transform standard students from low socio-economic backgrounds and consequently low digital literacy into national references in the field of Robotics for example.
