About us

AEVA was founded in 1998 as a non-profit organisation to meet the needs of local businesses in tackling skills mismatch by bringing education and the working world closer together. It is certified by ISO 9001 (Quality) and SA 8000 (Social Responsibility). AEVA-EPA was certified in LdV Mobility in 2010 and has warded the VET Mobility Charter since 2012. It is also certified with the EQAVET Compliance Seal of the Quality Assurance System in Education and Professional Training. AEVA-EPA has 3 units in Aveiro Region, located in urban and industrial areas, and offers several IVET, CVET and TVET qualifications targeting per year around 750 learners (14–21 years old), most of them with fewer opportunities, migrant background and dropout history. AEVA’s VET School, Escola Profissional de Aveiro, has an educational project and purpose that go far beyond simple training and education. Our school has been deeply interested in offering students the best opportunities to face the needs of the labour market. That implies knowing each students’ capacities and abilities as well as their drives, what motivates them and what led many of them to try to leave school.
Yearly, we have about 10% SEN students, to whom we try to guarantee the best preparation we can in order to help them face adulthood and gain their independence. In this regard, we guide them through the development of an Individual Transition Plan which is supposed to help them enter the labour market. They are placed in companies we have protocols with (internship / work-based experience). Normally, they begin by going one day a week and then they stay full-time, for a couple of months. During this period, students gain responsibility, become more autonomous and are given the opportunity to learn a certain activity or profession. Naturally, the type of activity they will develop has to take into account both their aptitudes and the nature of their technical course. In this regard, we have a team of 4 experts who work directly with the companies and therefore know the market needs of the region very well. Besides working to promote the development of their academic competences, our highly qualified staff also gives great importance to the development of soft skills, such as responsibility, teamwork and, most of all, autonomy. Our actions with SEN students are deeply intertwined with the school’s Educational Project and, therefore, aim at preparing their future integration in adult life and in the job market.
