What Techin does

TECHIN (legal name: Vilniaus technologijų ir inžinerijos mokymo centras) is a public vocational training institution headquartered at Trinapolio g. 2, Vilnius, Lithuania, formed in 2022 through the merger of Vilnius Technology and Engineering Training Center and Jeruzalės Labor Market Training Center. The institution delivers more than 200 modular training programs organized around three main tracks — IT, Engineering (HVAC, welding, mechatronics, CNC, electrical), and a Gymnasium program that combines secondary education with vocational qualifications — and serves secondary-school students, adult learners, corporate clients, and partner vocational schools. It operates two specialized academies: Akademija.IT (established 2014 in cooperation with INFOBALT and the Lithuanian Ministry of Education, with over 900 cumulative graduates in Java, JavaScript, C#, Python, testing, DevOps, and digital marketing) and ŠVOK Akademija (opened September 2022 as Lithuania's first dedicated HVAC practical training space, featuring six specialized laboratories with reported 713 students trained and a 90% graduate employment rate). It is also Lithuania's only Pearson VUE certification testing center for IT credentials including Microsoft Azure AZ-900.

The institution generates revenue through multiple streams: state-funded vocational training via the Lithuanian Employment Service (Užimtumo tarnyba) and the LAMA BPO/Mokausi.lt admission system; individual tuition for paid short courses priced EUR 99–500; on-site corporate training commissioned by enterprises (e.g., City Service Engineering, UAB ABABA, BGS, Litcargus, Moog, Devoteam, Edraña, Hyand, EISA-IT); EU-funded mobility via Erasmus+; and ancillary services including energy-worker attestation, welder certification (LST EN ISO 9606), competency assessment, and student accommodation across two dormitories. The institution employs 101–250 staff across six Vilnius locations (headquarters, welding workshops at Jeruzalės g. 61, IT training at Pamėnkalnio g. 11, automotive A/C training at Lakūnų g. 3, and two student dormitories), and reports an overall 80% graduate employment rate. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.
