Located in a highly industrialized region, FORAVE is recognized for the alignment of its educational project with the industrial characteristics of the territory, regarding the 4 major economic clusters in the areas of Company Management/Production, Industrial Maintenance, Electronics and Automation, Polymer Technology, and Mechatronics. The great connection between FORAVE and the companies has contributed to the development of training courses fitted to their needs, but which are also available for adults in general, who want to reskill or upskill to face the demands of the world of work.

Our school has cooperated, since its creation, with other vocational or general studies schools, and higher education institutions to promote the exchange of best practices among staff and to provide students with work placements and on-the-job training in their area of expertise.
FORAVE has been involved, as a coordinator or as a partner, in several European projects since 2003 and, more recently, we were granted the ERASMUS + Accreditation. In addition, FORAVE also hosts students and teachers from European partners to have their WBL, traineeships or job-shadowing periods in local companies.
Our school is also a founding member, and a board member, of INNOTECS, an international organisation for technical schools, mainly focused on vocational educational training level and high school level.
