POLITEKNIKA TXORIERRI
Presentation
POLITEKNIKA TXORIERRI S. Coop. Ltda. started its education activity in the academic year 1979/80. It was a strategic project of the industrial enterprise MATRICI, S. Coop. to give an answer to the need of vocational training (FP) in the valley of Txorierri, Derio (Bizkaia), with a second high cycle of FP enlarging the offer from the first cycle that was covered up to this time. In a second phase, other enterprises joined the project: Grupo Arteche, S. A., Ondoan, S. Coop., Fagor Arrasate, S. Coop., Prointec, S. A., Batz Zamudio, S. Coop. and Fundación Gaztempresa of Caja Laboral. Later on, support from the surrounding community of municipalities Larrabetzu, Lezama, Zamudio, Derio, Sondika and Loiu) allowed to erect a new building (1992), and the community decided to integrate as fully partners. This way, the legal entity is now an Integral Cooperative Society, with the participation of families, enterprises, employees and municipalities.
The mission of the Cooperative, as reflected in their statutes, is the development of an education project, meeting the socio-cultutal characteristics of the Community in witch is included and the needs for the integral training of persons to serve society; with main dedication to the promotion of technical-professional training in all levels, having in mind all the interests and the personal attitudes of trainees and the socio-laboral requirements of their local area. All of these activities are executed in a not-for-profit way.
