Myjava Secondary Technical School has been cooperating with over 20 companies from the districts of Myjava, Senica, Nové Mesto nad Váhom and Piešťany. Slovarm, a. s. is also among the companies for which the school trains new professionals. "Our cooperation with Slovarm has a long tradition. It is one of the companies which are aware of the importance of educating young people in technical professions and which support our school accordingly. We are pleased that the certificate award ceremony was also attended by Peter Špak, member of the Board of Directors of Energy Group, and Martin Jelínek, Economic Director at Slovarm. They awarded vouchers for the purchase of electrical equipment to the best students", said Mr Foltín in appreciation of the cooperation with Energy Group and Slovarm.

Students receive vocational training in companies, they have concluded contracts in the system of dual education, they go to companies on professional excursions, and employees of these companies give professional lectures at Myjava Secondary Technical School. Students get acquainted with the operation and functioning of companies and many of them will find a job there after completion of their studies.

Peter Špak, member of the Board of Directors of Energy Group which also includes Slovarm, commented on the cooperation with the school: "Cooperation and support of the surrounding community is important for all Energy Group companies. We are happy to be able to support not only schools, but also culture, sports and pensioners. We believe that such support will help the long-term prosperity of the regions in which we are active. Myjava Secondary Technical School prepares young people who will be an asset to the community, but also to us if they decide to work for us. Every company is built on people and we believe that by supporting the school we can get the best people. That is why we also support the school materially, students learn on our products, which are standard in many areas in Slovakia and abroad. This relationship also works the other way around, as many of our employees are trained at the school in various training courses focused on computer skills or languages. We believe that this also shows our confidence in the quality of teaching at this school and we hope that this mutually beneficial relationship will continue."

In the 2024/2024 academic year, first year students at Myjava Secondary Technical School will be able to choose from six fields of study. These traditionally include the fields of mechatronics, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, logistics, mechanic adjuster and technical lyceum. After some time, first year students will also study in the field of mechanical engineering, in which neighbouring companies have shown interest.

"We want to continue the reconstruction and modernisation of the school. During the holidays, we plan to modernise the kitchen in the hostel and build a state-of-the-art classroom for teaching English, German, Russian and Spanish. We would also like to give the corridors and entrance lobby a new look. We believe that the excellent cooperation with our founder – the Self-Governing Region of Trenčín – will continue, thanks to which we should not lack funding for the reconstruction of these premises", added Mr Foltín, the school's headmaster.
