Secondary Vocational School of Business and Services is one of the largest vocational schools providing education in the field of business and services in the district of Komarno. We have been providing high quality education in the following fields of study: Business Academy, Business and Information Services - International Business Relations. Graduates of these fields of study can continue their education at colleges or apply for professions such as accountants, tourist guides, personal assistants, bank clerks, salesmen, receptionists at tourist information center or at many levels of management in banks and enterprises. Besides these two fields, students can study in educational fields such as chef-pastry chef, cook, waiter, hairdresser, beautician, painter and bricklayer. After successfully completing the final examination they may continue at postgraduate courses in Entrepreneurship in Crafts and Services, which is completed by passing the school leaving examination. After graduation, the graduates are ready to be employed in the field of study, start their own business, or continue their studies at university. For these reasons, we consider it our priority to continuously improve the training of our students, bringing new modern trends, draw inspiration for the improvement of vocational education providing students with work placement abroad to gain knowledge and skills which will be further implemented in their work experience thesis. Our aim is to provide students with the education that will integrate specialized theoretical knowledge and participation in work placement abroad to create a compact set of knowledge, skills and competencies that a graduate needs to enter the labour market in Slovakia and in other countries of the European Union and beyond. By modernization and internationalisation of vocational education at our school, the ability to respond flexibly to the demands of the labour market that are affected by regional conditions and preparing high-quality professionals we aim at attracting more students to study at our school and gradually we want to offer courses that will better respond to regional, European and global labour market. Currently, our school is not involved in any international project that meet these requirements. For this reason, we consider it important to establish close partnerships with institutions abroad that can provide our students knowledge and useful information essential for labour market needs and develop their skills and abilities. Participating in work placements abroad, which will be the first in school history, we want to modernize our school, open it up to new forms of cooperation not only with educational institutions but also enterprises, so we will be able to prepare our students for the requirements and needs of European and world labour market. Such cooperation will also form the basis for further international projects not only within Erasmus + programs. The aim of the accompanying teachers participating in the project will be to gain valuable experience and knowledge, establish contacts and partnerships in order to build up a team after their return to school, whose task will be to develop and implement partnerships and collaboration on various platforms. Professional development of teachers is part of European Development Plan of our school. One of its long-term strategy of improvement of their professional competencies and skills is also their involvement in international projects, creating long-term partnerships and integration into the international network of institutions providing teacher development courses and training programs. ADC College, North London is able to provide work placements at enterprises and institutions where students acquire the necessary knowledge, skills and competences. Primarily it is the development of entrepreneurial skills and competencies of students` activities to be carried out directly in the workplace. Due to participation in work experience in London students will experience many interesting and inspiring impulses that they can use in their future professions and businesses. Finally, they will be able to develop language skills in multicultural environment of cosmopolitan London, which is one of the necessary conditions for their professional development in the field of domestic and international business, tourism and services. The project will involve a total number of 28 students who will perform following activities: office and administrative work related to the running of the company, working with office equipment and information and communication technologies, work with office and economic software, communication with clients of the company and many others. The outcomes of the project will be later used in eTwinning projects, where we will continue to carry out the European Development Plan of our school.
