The school has a permanent dialogue and interaction with the labour market.

• We try to foster and support interaction with the community, including different institutions such as: our school partners; the Businesspeople Forum (20 entrepreneurs from different branches and areas of activity that keeps the school updated on latest news and labour market requirements and spreads our practices outside school).
• There is a Professional Tutor for each Class ( a face-to-face interaction with a professional that enables the adequate training of students to meet the requirements of the labour market). We have Professional Aptitude Project Judges (Projects that can have a real impact in certain companies, could have the capacity to improve the overall labour market in a specific sector by being implemented and/or could be a strong recruitment resource). There is a Career Management Department (incorporating: a) a curricular work placement database for students according to the latest company needs; b) employment candidates database - specific for employers; c) employers' database - provides current job opportunities for graduates and students).
• We run Conferences / Master classes involving lectures by specialists/entrepreneurs every month (we have an hour per class in the timetable for these master classes - the time is also used by the Class Educational Adviser to deal with pedagogical issues).
• We also enter students for Quality Awards (rewards given by different companies to our best students).

Our programme dealing with 'Work Context' and 'Measures of Transition to Working Life' produce the following:

• The bond created between school/teachers with the Labour Market;
• Strong relationship and identification of the companies with the School;
• Projects developed throughout the course in a real context;
• Contacts and dynamism together with the companies in the technical sectors;
• Integrated work placements (in some courses).

Our external partners include: Parents' cooperation; Links with external partners provided by Junior Achievement Portugal; Volunteers; Contacts with partners in business.
