Shortly about PTF:

The establishment of the first PTF’s in Lithuania was initiated in 1993 under the joint project of three Danish business colleges and the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science of the Republic of Lithuania.

What is a practical training firm? It is the teaching of business training within the education institutions. PT firms are the companies that imitate the activities of genuine companies and are involved in mutual trade with Lithuanian and foreign firms, which make about 5,000 worldwide. Practical training firms operate within the education institutions of Lithuania (state and private colleges, professional training and secondary schools, gymnasiums, etc.), where future specialists of economy and business management are trained.

In practical training firms pupils and students as executives make attempts to solve the issues that arise in the working process and implement their plans and ideas; thus, they obtain experience of working in a business enterprise.
