PEMA | Progetto EMilia-Romagna per l'Albania

PEMA is the technical assistance component of the “VET through Innovation” programme, designed to support vocational education and training in Albania through the establishment of a multifunctional center of excellence in the agricultural and agro-industrial sector in the Fier region (Albania) that will include the “Rakip Kryeziu” school in Fier and the Agro-mechanical school of Lushnje. The ""VET through Innovation” programme is based on an agreement between the Italian cooperation in Albania and the Albanian Government.
