The general objective of the project was to increase regional labour force employability, with an emphasis on crafting and skill-shortage professions, and improve cooperation between education and industry. The first part of this objective was achieved through educating craftsmen and their employees, whereas the second was reached by addressing primary and secondary schools and promoting crafting professions among their pupils. Crossborder aspects: the project activities helped establish cross-border cooperation and, through workshops and courses, meet the ever demanding needs of the economy. The two sides shared good practices and raised public awareness about the importance of preserving crafting professions.
