Gyumri State Vocational School No. 4 welcomed Armenian and international partners of the RENFORCE (Strengthening Work Force Potential in the Renewable-Energy Sector) international project, implemented within the framework of the Erasmus+ program.

The guests toured the facilities, familiarized themselves with the vocational programs offered, the educational environment, and the students’ work.

Particular attention was given to the specialty “Installation, Repair, and Maintenance of Renewable Energy Power Plants.” Students presented their project-based work, and the meeting evolved into an active discussion on sectoral challenges and future prospects.

The visit to Gyumri provided the partners with an opportunity to assess the school’s real capabilities and potential on site.

Subsequently, the prerequisites for establishing an association of VET institutions and solar energy companies were discussed, along with the initial steps toward developing the concept of the “Solar Force” resource center.
