TAS for AGRIFORM is a pilot project co-founded by the European Commission in the framework of Leonardo da Vinci Programme.

The main aim is to encourage the establishment of links between Vocational Training sector and the Agricultural Entrepreneurs.

The project, through singling out of a training methodology tailor made on Agricultural Entrepreneurs, wants to provide with a valid work tool the trainers involved in actions addressed to our project target, guaranteeing to the Entrepreneurs the possibility to have training pathways methodologically based on their skills and their actual needs.
