Start date: Jul 1, 2014, End date: Jun 30, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The project is created to be coherent with Erasmus + priorities. It is a sort of investment in vocational training improvement through innovative and student-centred pedagogical approach. The project develops appropriate methods of assessment and certification, based on learning outcomes. Additionally, strong emphasis is put on learning foreign languages. Project realization is expected to last for 2 years. It is designed for technical college students as well as teachers of vocational subjects employed by ZSSB. The school’s partners are institutions from Germany and Portugal. Technical college students of the third grade will be the participants of the project. The project involves practical training for 54 students divided in 3 groups with 18 students each. The training will last 3 weeks. Participants are involved in 3 different specializations: automotive, building engineering and NC machine tool. For job shadowing 20 teachers involved in vocational training will be sent to Portugal. They are going to be divided in 2 groups with 10 participants each. Job shadowing will last 7 days. The main aim of the project, as well as students are concerned, is to acquire new vocational skills, e.g.: getting practical usage of modern technologies connected with automotive branch, building branch and mechanical branch. As for teaching staff, the main aim of the project is the transfer of innovative educational methods as well as updating former methods in the field of vocational training. The project will give teachers a chance to familiarize themselves with Portuguese vocational school system not only in schools but also in enterprises which accept students for their practical training. The project will also make possible to see the equipment Portuguese vocational schools possess and learn about the support they get. The participation in the project aims for the improvement of vocational education and training through introducing new methods. It will increase participants’ knowledge and vocational qualifications. While sharing their experiences, teachers will be able to develop and adopt new methods in their home country. What’s more, the quality of education will improve through studying vocational language. That’s how language competences bring improvement. Next important goal of the project is to improve participants language skills. It concerns not only breaking barriers but also developing speaking and listening skills. But most of all, it is about familiarizing students and staff with technical language. Both foreign partners are going to prepare special cultural programmes for participants in order to develop their cultural competences. Students and staff will acquaint themselves with countries, their histories, culture and traditions through visiting German and Portuguese cities. Students will be provided with practical training in German specialized workshops, accommodation and food. The sending organization is going to support all participants with proper transport to Germany, Portugal and to Poland, insurance policies and language courses. Students will be accompanied by two supervising teachers and they are going to get German - Polish dictionaries and protective clothing. Teachers will be provided with English – Polish dictionaries. Before students go for their practical training, there will be many activities undertaken in order to prepare their training period professionally. These activities involve students pedagogical and cultural preparation. Project is planned to be monitored by all partners and when the project finishes, the impact will be put on successful evaluation, dissemination and exploitation of results. Essential results will include lesson drafts of vocational subjects prepared by teachers as well as broadening and gaining new vocational skills confirmed with special certificates delivered by hosting companies (students). Participants’ competences will be validated by different certificates including Europass Mobility and presented at a special conference organized for representatives of cooperating companies, school – board and city hall, teachers, students and parents. The conference is going to be treated as a result dissemination. The project will have strong impact on participants, school itself, local community and the whole region because it will prepare 54 young people to better and more effective work. Thanks to final mobility assessment prepared according to ECVET rules, students will be able to gain easier recognition of their skills and qualifications. Additionally, the project will contribute to higher competitiveness of the Polish school on the educational market, higher school enrolment and its prestige. ZSSB is the institution that will make all necessary efforts to ensure the highest quality of the project it planned.
