Cooperation with Center of higher-education Ptuj
E-institute, within the framework of project activities, has recognized the opportunity in local environment offered by Business Educational Center (MIC) acting within the School Center Ptuj. The primary purpose of the MIC is to promote cooperation between industry and the education system and contribute to the development of both sectors.
In order to promote the competitiveness of the local economy, the project MOVE (SI-AT 2007-2013) established a demonstration center of solar technologies in order to apply the practical training program for installers of solar technologies. The demonstration center allows a direct comparison of the use of solar energy with different technologies (water heating and electricity production), while serving as a tool for a students of program installer for renewable energy sources. The tool enables the implementation of practical plumbing work installation and repair of solar modules in the real world. The center has been designed taking into account the established best practices from Burgenland.

The premises of MIC offer an opportunity to further develop the training center for installers of emerging renewable technologies, equipped with the latest training equipment. In cooperation between E-institute and Austrian partners a new education program has been developed. Followed by train-the-trainers program conducted in Güssing, Austria - based on the curriculum aimed at improving knowledge and competence base in the field of RES installations. MIC Ptuj has provided the necessary facilities for carrying out trainings; the project Recovery on the other hand covered the investments into training equipment.
The proposed training program is aimed at students of technical fields, job seekers and businesses offering specialized practical knowledge and capacity-building in field of RES technologies.
Implementation of the activities has been enabled by the cross-border cooperation program Slovenia Austria, in partnership with project MOVE (promoting best practices in energy efficiency and RES) and project RECOVERY (improving competitiveness and economic growth of cross-border area).
