Start date: Jul 1, 2014, End date: Jun 30, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Stredna odborna skola Senec(SOŠ Senec)provides secondary vocational education in different branches. Inseparable part of their studies is training in real companies. For our project we chose the Business branch, because the interest in that kind of studies went rapidly down. The one of the reason is the fear of recent students to set up their own business, because of economic crises. The second one is really worrying us. These pupils come from social disadvantaged area, weak social conditions, destroyed families and the school becomes the only place for them, where they can meet with positive life experience. Getting qualifications connected with language knowledge is for them the only way how to improve their future. The aim of the project is to make vocational training of our pupils much better not only sending pupils abroad, but send teachers, too, and after getting the new skills and experiences to higher attraction of vocational studies and training. We will sent twelve students and seven teachers and training staff to Czech Republic, Finland and Portugal. Pupils and teachers will be able to meet face to face to usual working problems, they will be joined to regular and unexpected activities in the organization in the most possible way. Pupils by solving the bigger and small tasks will do they professional training in foreign companies. Professional knowledge and skills, so also language ability, which students gained during studies and vocational training in Slovakia, they will be able to use during the stay, what will support their personal development. Teachers will change their skills with foreign colleagues, will try to teach in different conditions, use known techniques for unknown pupils. The same way the teachers and staff will support and monitor the performance of our pupils abroad. The project will strengthen the position of the school in vocational education, increase pupils' interest in studying those disciplines , and allow students - participants better access to jobs in Slovakia or in the EU area . This project stems from previous quality of cooperation at the international level, and will be expanded to other partners, thus responding to the need to improve and increase the volume of cooperation between organizations that provide opportunities of education. The important part of the project is that students in addition to his graduation certificate will receive Europass Mobility. This will improve the transparency and recognition of qualifications. The project will develop partnerships between education and employment and it will focused on potential growth of local or regional area. Students during internship in a foreign area will be forced to use English language in daily contact with the organization and the company , which will contribute to the awareness of the necessity of the study of modern foreign languages. Whereas in the current population of young people in secondary vocational schools, declining interest in foreign languages, this point is very important . Concerning adult education, it will give validation of non-formal and informal learning and career guidance and it will offer tailored learning opportunities to individual learners.
