Learning the shoemaker’s craft!
\n<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Monchique\u2019s first shoemaking apprentice took his leave from his parents on Monday, 25th April, and set off for Austria. Jos\u00e9 Pedro Mira Nunes, aged 23, had applied to ECO123 for the shoemaking apprenticeship training project. In his application, he wrote about a longstanding family tradition dating back to the time of his great-grandfather, who was making shoes in Monchique in the 1960s. The jury selected him as the first of two candidates who were suitable for this training.<\/p>\n

Having arrived at GEA in Schrems, five kilometres from the Czech border, after a three-day train journey, he started immersing himself in the subject in the form of a practical traineeship. Z\u00e9 Pedro writes in his first e-mail:<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m loving working here. I have already done a little bit of everything in practical terms: from making shoes by hand to working on the machines, sewing, cutting the leather, etc. There\u2019s no doubt that it\u2019s hard work, but it\u2019s really worth it! And it\u2019s certainly an experience for strong personalities, new surroundings, new work. Learning something new every day, not to mention the fact that no one in the factory speaks English…there\u2019s a lot to assimilate at the same time! That\u2019s why learning German is very important! But I\u2019m already acclimatised!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A shoemaking apprenticeship in Austria generally lasts three years, and consists of a practical part \u2013 36 weeks per year \u2013 and another, theoretical part, ten weeks per year \u2013 at the professional school, which gives instruction in parallel. You earn an apprentice\u2019s salary of between 600 (in the first year) and almost 1,000 euros per month in the third year, and have six weeks’ holiday. The plan is that, with his certificate in his bag, Z\u00e9 Pedro will return to Monchique in 2019. He then intends to open his own workshop, in order to continue the traditional craft of shoemaking in the village.<\/p>\n

<\/i>\n\t\t\tThe jury from ECO123 and the \u201cA Nossa Terra\u201d and \u201cMemo\u201d associations have another apprenticeship to award, which interested persons can apply for.\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
