The project “European Experience in Applying Information Technologies in Tourism – a Bridge to Labour Market Realisation” is initiated by “Aleko Konstantinov” Vocational School of Economics, Kardzhali. It is aimed to a target group of 20 students aged 15-17 years (10 th-11th grade), from different ethnic groups, trained in the school in specialties in the field of economics. The mobility of the users will be carried out in Valencia, Spain on real work placements, agreed by the partner organization ESMOVIA Sistema Practices S.l, with individual mentors. The period of the mobility is provided from 03.07.2016 to 23.07.2016. The main aim of the project – the acquisition of new professional knowledge, skills and experience from the users, is in the context of the Lifelong Learning Programme and the Europe 2020 Strategy. The specific aims of the project intend the acquiring of new professional knowledge and competence in the field of tourism and the application of the IT in this field. Training in tourism is not included in the curricula of the specialties which are taught in our school and the acquisition of knowledge and practical experience in this field will be as added value for the beneficiaries in their vocational training. The project provides implementation of the following activities: preparing a project proposal together with the partner organization, including the negotiation of the work placements, the work program, accommodation; training and selection of the participants; Agreement for quality implementation of the mobility and contract with the partner organization and the beneficiaries; organization and implementation of the mobility; monitoring; certification of the acquired knowledge, skills and competencies; promotion of the results of the project realization; preparation of final report by Mobility Tool+. The methodology, which will be used for the carrying out of the project, provides a system of activities for initiation, planning, management, control through distribution of the tasks and commitments of the partners, on the one hand, and of the team members on the other hand, current monitoring, tutoring, mentoring, certification, promotion. The choice of the methodology is result of the experience of the successfully implemented 7 projects up to now by Leonardo da Vinci Programme and Comenius. The planned project activities follow the logical sequence, aimed at the quality training of the users for participation in the mobility and successful implementation of the practice on real work placements. The project puts emphasis on the motivation and training of the students in the school from different ethnic and social origin in order to build the entrepreneurial skills in the field of tourism, which is an economic sphere, developing at a fast pace in our region and in the country. Important first results from the vocational training of the young people are the construction of self-esteem and confidence in their own forces and these are a prerequisite for their successful realization on the labor market. The expected outcomes are related to the acquisition of professional knowledge and skills in the field of tourism and the application of ICT; getting familiar with good manufacturing practices of businesses in a highly developed tourist region as Valencia; developing their language competences; establishing professional attitude and responsibility for the implementation of the assigned tasks; labor and entrepreneurial initiative developing; awareness of belonging to the European family through knowing of the culture, customs and traditions of Spain. In the long term this type of practical training will allow the project beneficiaries to enhance their competitiveness in the labor market. The implementation of the mobility will lead to better association of the vocational practice with the requirements of the dynamically changing business environment in Bulgaria and Europe. The partners’ participation in the project will lead to increasing of their experience in the implementation of mobility projects and intercultural contacts. It will increase their authority as future partners in other projects and will expand the opportunities for the implementation of closer links between the school and the business. It is provided a presentation for experience of the users ‘participation in front of representatives of the tourist business in the region of Kardzhali, which will lead to a wider distribution and promotion of the aims and results of the mobility.
