In addition to student and teacher exchanges with our project partners, TAI is a member in multi-national development projects and networks. We also participate actively in the national and international Skills competition scene.

Erasmus+ projects

Erasmus+ exchange projects enable our students and staff training periods and educational visits in companies and schools abroad. TAI sends out between 70 and 100 students every year, usually for 1–2 months at a time. We also receive students and visitors from our partners.
