Start date: Sep 1, 2016, End date: Aug 31, 2017 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The project will enable the pupils of our school to gain work experience in companies and organizations in England and Ireland. We are going to implement this project because we strive to improve the quality of school practical training of students and links with current needs of practice. We build on our successful projects from previous years. In past, internships were designed only for students from graduation study, however this time apprentices will also participate in internships abroad. The project responds to the demands of employers for graduates of our school, who require not only expertise, but emphasize good practice and language skills.The main objective of the project is to improve the quality of professional practice and language training of our pupils. This project will provide participants certified practice abroad, which will help to improve their employability. Participants will gather new professional knowledge, skills and competencies and will deepen their key competences. We also aim to progress participants´ English, to develop their personalities and intercultural enrichment. From the perspective of school the other objectives of the project are to expand and deepen international cooperation, to transfer new knowledge from abroad and use them to improve the quality of teaching. In this project we use Europass Mobility and implement ECVET system.Project participants will be students of the 2nd and 3rd grade of studies. There will be students of the 4-year degree courses focused on tourism, business, hospitality and engineering, and apprentices of the 3-year courses - machinist, toolmaker, mechanic (locksmith), fine mechanics (optics) and cook-waiter. We will send a total of 30 students (20 in England – Portsmouth and Birmingham and 10 in Ireland - Cork) and 3 accompanying persons. Foreign work placement will be 4 weeks long.Participants will prepare for an internship during the school year. They will attend an English course and the cultural, organizational and job training. Participants will be placed in small and medium enterprises and organizations to perform their work activities. Specific internships will be prepared according to field of study of the participants and will be tailored to their individual needs. Professional work tasks will be determined by the unit of learning ECVET.Participants focused on tourism will work in facilities for tourists, such as information centers, cultural institutions and monuments. Participants who attend Business College will spend their internship at administrative positions in companies and organizations. Participants focused on hotel industry will be working at receptions or as skilled gastronomy workers in hotels and other accommodation and catering facilities.
