KEA's stories - Anniversary book
KEA turned 10 years old in 2018, so historian Anders Fallentin dug deep into the archives to write the book: KEA's Stories - Told & Selected.
COOPERATION AT AND WITH KEA
At KEA, we train our students primarily for the private labour market. Therefore, KEA naturally works closely with private companies on developing the content of existing programmes, establishing new programmes, arranging company visits, inviting guest lecturers, etc.
KEA also collaborates with private companies concerning the mandatory internship, in which all students experience working closely with a company on practice-related and relevant issues. The internship often results in a job for the student.
The collaboration with the private companies supports an innovative, global and entrepreneurial culture at KEA. We build bridges between craftsmanship and new knowledge, and the students learn to translate knowledge into products. The culture also supports those KEA students who wish to further develop or establish their own business. This applies to more than half of KEA's students.
DIVERSITY
At KEA, there is room for diversity, which is clearly reflected in the very diverse composition of KEA students. Diversity is a great strength, which is expressed in the quality of the projects and products on which e.g. high school students and vocational students collaborate.
