As part of an innovative educational project, Bolesławiec County has secured financial support, with the initiative’s total value exceeding 5 600 000 zlotys. This opens up new opportunities for the development of vocational education in the county.
The “First Step” project began at the start of February. It involves digital solutions in the vocational education of students from Bolesławiec County, with Syntea S.A. as its partner.
The project will involve students and teachers from 5 Bolesławiec secondary schools operated by Bolesławiec County, where vocational education is provided, namely:
- Zespół Szkół Mechanicznych w Bolesławcu

Thanks to the funds obtained, we will introduce the latest digital and technological solutions into the education process. These modern solutions will enable young people to learn more effectively and orient their education towards the needs of the labour market.
