In addition to customer service, we are developing the social and educational spheres of Estonia by participating in national and international development projects, several workshops and round tables, organizing trainings and information events for specialists in the field, and offering internship opportunities for future specialists. We are an associate member of the European Rehabilitation Platform and cooperate with various vocational rehabilitation centers in Europe.
