The Municipality of Vila Nova de Famalicão wants to be at the side of the municipality's young people in the most important and decisive moments of their journey and, for this reason, over the next three days it will help Famalicão's 9th grade students define their future and choose their area of study for the next cycle of training.
The "Secondary Education Fair 2024 - Choose Your Future!" is taking place from today, Tuesday, at CIEES in Vale São Cosme, organised by the municipality in partnership with the Local Education and Training Network.
Until Thursday 18th, nearly 1,200 students will have the opportunity to find out more about the training on offer, the main subjects and the career paths of the 15 school groups, vocational schools and private and artistic educational establishments in the municipality.
Throughout a series of routes, young people will be invited to explore the entire secondary education offer in a practical and engaging way, through activities, interactive spaces, contact with professionals, games, challenges, information on courses and subjects, career paths, and access to courses and curricula.
Various vocational areas will be explored - Communication and Services, Digital and Performing Arts, Design, Management and Business, Science and Health, Information Technology, Technology and Industry, Technology and Electricity and Electronics and Protection and Wellbeing - the different alternatives and teaching components.
"The aim is to contribute to more informed decision-making and to bring secondary education 'out of doors' so that students can have contact with all areas of knowledge, involving not only students, but also teachers, psychologists, companies and professionals, so that they can learn about the countless opportunities, both in terms of training and employability, and thus better choose their future," points out mayor Mário Passos, who is scheduled to visit the Secondary Education Fair this Wednesday, the 17th, at 11.15am.
