Young entrepreneurs from Matosinhos compete in national competition

The concept will be presented to a national jury that will select the 5 best in the country. The winner will be awarded with a prize of 1000 Euros



The 7th edition of the "Best National PAP Competition", will take place at IPCA in Barcelos, on the 12th of October, with live streaming broadcasting through Rumos Education's Youtube channel.

The "Best National PAP Competition" aims to choose and reward each academic year, the five best Professional Aptitude Tests (PAP) from all the Professional Schools of the Rumos Education sub-holding, namely Escola Profissional de Tecnologia Digital (Escola Digital), Escola Profissional Ruiz Costa (eRC), Escola Profissional de Braga (EPB) and Escola Profissional Profitecla (Profitecla).

According to António Ruão, general director of Rumos Education "at this moment the Professional Aptitude Tests are more than just tests prepared by Professional Education students, in the final phase of training, to complete their professional course. This initiative is fundamental for students, not only to demonstrate the knowledge and skills they have acquired during their training, but also as an incentive to young entrepreneurship, in the sense that, through their projects and ideas, they have contact with the business reality and create their own business or job", he explains.
