Organic farming participants will become capable to raise crops using natural pesticides and other techniques such as composting. The participants will receive an intimate knowledge of the land and the life cycles of plants. PV technicians will become capable to install, service, troubleshoot and maintain commercial and home scale solar arrays. They will be in the position for testing newly constructed systems as well as responding to service issues. Additionally they will perform maintenance inspections on existing systems and collect accurate data for reporting purposes.Bakers/confectioners will learn to master the use of a large number of tools in order to produce quality items, measuring and mixing ingredients into dough according to a recipe, produce and decorate a variety of bakery and confectionery products, become creative etc. The commitment of participants and receiving partners to successfully meet project training objectives will enrich skills and know how enabling participants to fulfill their professional aspirations. The combination of knowledge and skills will enable participants to find easier a job and adjust comfortably in any working environment (by developing their social skills).
