Centro de Formação Profissional do Artesanato

CEARTE - Centro de Formação Profissional do Artesanato (Vocational Training Centre for Arts and Crafts) was created through a protocol between IEFP (Institute of Employment and Vocational Training) and the Diocesan Caritas of Coimbra and, since 1986, it has worked for the sector of Arts and Crafts, creative industries, and small companies, promoting employment, the valuation of territories and, in general, the qualification of the Portuguese.

CEARTE’s activities are aimed at developing vocational training for several areas of the Arts and Crafts sector in Portugal (and other training areas at local level) and contributing to the realisation of public employment and vocational training policies, improving the employability of unemployed youths and adults. The Centre develops training for unemployed and active youths and adults, and trainers, as well as tailor-made solutions for organisations.

CEARTE’s headquarters is located in Coimbra, and it also has facilities in Miranda do Corvo and Alvaiázere. Nevertheless, it develops training programmes all over the country through partnerships with associations of artisans and local development, teaching institutions, universities, private institutions of social solidarity, municipalities and other relevant institutions, in order to efficiently meet qualification, fine-tuning and retraining needs for people and organisations, as well as to provide close technical support to all arts and crafts agents and small companies.

Our activity guidelines have been decisive for our success and have established CEARTE has a reference in terms of quality, innovation and effective response for small companies, artisans and other professionals of the creative industries at national level. Such guidelines include investment in entrepreneurship; partnership work; development of training focused on skill acquisition; programmes adjusted to the growing challenges of arts and crafts, markets and professional evolution; technical support; innovation for artisanal production units; and growing investment in guidance, and school and vocational certification through CQEP - Centro para a Qualificação e o Ensino Profissional (Centre for Qualification and Vocational Teaching).

social economy entities while investing in innovation, design, technical quality,

hygiene and safety, ICTs, corporate management, promotion and trade.

which allow the acquisition of relevant technical and entrepreneurial skills.
