A technical school for green professions is being built in Larnaca

Construction has begun on a technical school specialising in green professions in the Aradippou area of Larnaca. This €39 million project is being implemented as part of the THALIA 2021–2027 European programme and is co-financed by the European Union and the Cypriot state budget.

Training for the future: from solar technologies to bioclimatic architecture

The new school will train specialists in key areas of sustainable development, including green technologies, renewable energy sources, bioclimatic architecture, and the construction of eco-friendly buildings. Students will be able to train as electric transport engineers, energy-saving technologists, geoinformation topographers, green plumbers and landscaping specialists.

According to Anty Filippidou, Director of Development at the THALIA 2021–2027 Programme Office, the school aims to address shortcomings in secondary technical education and enhance training, thereby stimulating employment and professional development while strengthening Cyprus's green economy.

Contribution to the economy and climate awareness

The launch of the school is expected to provide businesses with skilled personnel and raise awareness among young people and society of climate change and its impact on people's lives and work. The educational programme combines theory and practice, equipping graduates with marketable skills directly related to environmental and energy innovation.

Construction is scheduled for completion by 2028, replacing the outdated school

The facility is scheduled to be commissioned in early 2028. The campus will include modern classrooms, specialised laboratories and workshops equipped with the latest technology. The new school will replace the outdated St. Lazarus Technical School in the Mackenzie area, whose buildings are in extremely poor condition.

This is a step towards a green future

Once opened, the school will become a leading centre for environmental education and innovation in Cyprus, training a generation of specialists capable of implementing sustainable development, renewable energy, and energy-efficient construction projects. It will be more than just an educational institution; it will be a driver of the country's green economic transformation.
