During October to December 2004, a group of seven trainees from Torun stayed with families in Swindon and worked for a number of local companies, including RWE N Power, the Royal Mail, Swindon Borough Council, Tyco Electronics and British Computer Society.
The trip was initiated by Torun Electricity Company (Zaklad Energetyczny w Toruniu) who partnered with Swindon Borough Council for successful application for funding from the European Union Leonardo da Vinci money. The project focus is on project management methodology Prince2, a standard methodology used by large enterprises, in addition, the group were able to brush up their language skills, establish business contacts and meet with the Mayor (photo attached).
A second group of trainees will arrive in Swindon as part of the project during February.
