Special emphasis was placed on the upgrading of DYPA’s educational units, including the updating of their curricula, the energy- and operation-related improvement of their premises (with RRF funding), and the collaboration with leading companies in order to ensure that studies are linked to the needs of the labour market and, consequently, to the rapid placement of graduates in secure quality jobs.
