Based in Barcelos, IPCA has established itself as a leading higher education institution in the north of the country, promoting a close link between teaching, applied research and the business community.
The establishment of ETESP in Braga represents a significant contribution not only to training excellence and strengthening youth employability, but also to the cultural and social dynamization of the city. Through partnerships with local entities, community initiatives, exhibitions, creative projects and artistic and technological events, IPCA's presence contributes to greater proximity between higher education and the Braga community.
The higher vocational technical courses (CTESP) taught there, which are geared towards the real needs of the job market, also have a practical side which often translates into concrete cultural interventions, whether in design, multimedia, technology or tourism. This applied approach creates opportunities to enhance local heritage, innovate in cultural events and promote a contemporary, young and participatory identity for the city.
Thus, IPCA's ETESP in Braga doesn't just train qualified professionals: it takes an active role in strengthening the city's cultural and civic life, reinforcing Braga's position as an urban center of knowledge, creativity and sustainable development.
