Between the 12th and the 15th of February 2009, EXPONOR - Porto International Fair will be hosting Qualific@ - Education, Training, Youth and Employment Exhibition.



This is a wide-ranging event devoted to Education, Training, Youth and Employment, which counts on the support and cooperation of various Institutions that give consistency to this project and bring added value not only in terms of the content of the exhibition, but also in its size and projection.

The key partners in this exhibition, the Ministry for Education and the IEFP – Employment and Vocational Training Institute, strive to ensure the success of this initiative, mobilising schools and organising activities.

With Qualific@, EXPONOR aims to create an event that has a significant impact, focusing particularly on education, training, vocational qualifications and the adaptation of supply to demand.

The event will be an arena for information and to raise awareness, among the population in general and the various education, training and business agents in particular, of the challenges and opportunities that arise in the field of education and training.

In a single site, we will bring together the various participants in this process, working to gradually close the gap between the entities responsible for education, training and employment and their Target Audience.

The low cost per contact and the significant visibility, together with a targeted and personalised communication, make Qualific@ the ideal exhibition to promote projects, products and services.

Theme of the 2009 Edition
Creativity and Innovation through Education and Culture

We will stimulate the capacity for creation and innovation! …by promoting activities, debates and conferences.

Qualific@ aims to encourage the development of creative ability, providing new skills that help us see change as an opportunity that opens us up to new ideas, in a culturally diverse world and a society based on knowledge. Education and training are crucial factors today.

The goal of this project is, above all, to promote creativity for all, to encourage innovation, both social and entrepreneurial.
