Recently, a course that Matís held with others at Höfn in Hornafjörður ended. The design of the course was done in collaboration with Þekkingarnet, Skinneyjar-Þinganes and FAS (Framhaldsskólinn í Austur-Skaftafellssýsla).
Teaching was usually twice a week in the Skinney-Þinganes building, which was specially equipped as a classroom. The aim of the course was, among other things, to increase staff's knowledge of marine catch processing, strengthen self-confidence and increase their professional skills. Course components included cooperation and team spirit, management, quality in fish processing, food safety and occupational safety.
