The partnership reinforces the institutional coordination between vocational pathways and higher education, promoting the continuation of studies

The Instituto Superior Miguel Torga (ISMT) and EPTOLIVA signed a collaboration protocol at the EPTOLIVA facilities in Oliveira do Hospital. This agreement establishes the guidelines for cooperation based on institutional and pedagogical coordination, focused on building solid bridges between vocational education and higher-level training.

Through this partnership, the two institutions intend to develop synergies in their areas of convergence, seeking to facilitate the academic progression of EPTOLIVA students. The protocol creates dynamics of proximity that aim to respond concretely to the educational needs of the young people in the municipality and the region, encouraging the qualification of the population and the continuity of the academic trajectories of vocational pathways graduates.

Following the signing of the cooperation agreement, a presentation session of ISMT was held, aimed at the final-year students of EPTOLIVA. The meeting promoted direct contact between the student community and the institution's educational offer of degrees and study cycles, providing information on the admission modalities and quotas for vocational education graduates. The action reflects ISMT's strategy of strengthening the institutional collaboration networks that support education and development in territories outside major urban centres.
