According to the National Reform Programme of Latvia “Europe 2020” for the strategy implementation it is established that Latvia’s goal is to promote growth and employment providing a high level of employment at 73% until 2020, including better adequacy of the qualifications and skills for the requirements of labor market.Considering the priorities listed above DMC has devised its own strategy. By creating DMC focused on long–term work, we realize the importance of this project for the development of the city, region and country. It is important for us to learn from the examples of a good practice in Europe, to adopt and improve innovative methods not only for our school, but we are ready to share our expierence with others.Increased competition in the field of employment contributes increasing of the labor market's requirements. Young people with poor knowledge and skills that can not find a job in Latvia have to leave for work abroad but their knowledge and skills are insufficient for developed labor markets in Western Europe therefore they have to perform unskilled work. More qualitative vocational education and acquisition of skills that correspond to European standards would expand opportunities for students from DMK to find their place in EU, including the labor market of Latvia. The activities of the project are aimed to development of new innovative experience in Europe for the specialists and students involved in vocational education and training in areas supported by DMC that will contribute to their professional and personal development, intercultural and foreign languages competences.
