It is in this city, where the educational centre PSAKK is located. A school which exists since the early 70's and which is being subsidized by the government. In Finland there are 3 educational centres, 1 for adult students (PSAKK), 1 for younger people and 1 for designers. This school has an average of 16 students per year and the course takes approximately 13 months. The focus of the school is mainly on shoe repair and the shoe industry and it is the only school in Finland where exams are being taken in levels, basic, professional and master degree.

The idea of the school was to create a real-time situation for the students. In reality, the average shoe repairer in Finland works in a small shop on machinery that does not comply with any safety or health regulations and has no space to manoeuvre. And this is exactly what the school wanted, a small multi service shoe repair shop inside the school.
The committee decided to install the latest Flexam machine technology from Jos America Machines, complying with the latest developments on health and safety regulations in Europe. Decisive issues where mainly no-noise machinery, high-performance dust extraction, exposure and a complete multi service shoe repair centre. Jos America installed the multi service shoe repair shop in December 2008, including a multi functional Flexam work unit, stitching machines, working tables, key duplicating centre, counter and display units.
