Testimonial on the Master program

The knowledge that I acquired during the lectures and the practical activities will be very useful for my future career. I carried out my internship at the Technological Educational Institution of Western Greece. During my internship I had the opportunity to participate in a Life Long Learning Project with the main purpose to tackle Early School Leaving across Europe. It was my first experience with an international project and it was a very constructive step towards my future professional destination. June 2014

Testimonial on the Internship

I carried out my internship at the Technological Educational Institution of Western Greece which is a result of a recent merger of the former Technological Educational Institution of Mesologgi and of the former Technological Educational Institution of Patras.
During my traineeship I had the opportunity to participate in a Life Long Learning Project which is an International project with the main purpose to tackle Early School Leaving cross Europe. In close cooperation with my tutor and his guidance, I helped in drafting specific guidelines concerning the key actors of the educational procedure.
The strongest contribution of mine in the project’s activities though, was the translation of all these guidelines from English into the Greek language. I must say that, that was my first experience with an international project in real time and, admittedly, it was a very constructive step towards my future professional destination. Despite the fact that the TEI of Western Greece is a newly born organization and a variety of administrative problems reveal almost every day, this organization shows remarkable activity within the environment of the international cooperation and participates both as a partner and as a coordinator. In parallel with my main activities, I had the opportunity to cooperate with the President of the Institution who is the main source of ideas. The TEI is very active in the area of alternative sources of energy and more specifically in Renewable Energy Resources. Thus I had the opportunity to learn a lot of details about this area, to exchange opinions and ideas with the President and his team as well as to assist in drafting new ideas and proposals.
