PROJECT
FINISHED
Thanks to the Erasmus + project, in which educational mobility is a key action, there will be implemented the project “Forming and tending of green areas - a chance for a good job on the European market." The organization that applies for it is Agricultural Training Centre School of Jadwiga Dziubińska name in Zduńska Dąbrowa. The school’s governing authority is the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. We educate the technicians in the following professions: veterinary technician, farming technician and technician of landscape architecture. Our partner is a DEULA Nienburg center which, for many years, has been running vocational training programs related to agricultural technology and landscape architecture. Thanks to "Leonardo da Vinci Mobility"project, our students have already done training at previously mentioned center. Both sides found this cooperation positive, which contributed to the re-selection of this partner to Erasmus+ project .
The main aim of the project is to improve the level of key professional skills that are useful on the labor market and increase the chances of employment. It can be implemented thanks to learning mobility, cooperation between the worlds of education and the labor market. Another aim is to improve the quality of action and innovation of educational institutions through: the modernization of the education system, the exchange of experiences and results and the adjustment to the labor market. Apart from work experience, also important is personal development of project participants, improving language skills, expanding worldview horizons and learning about the culture of another country. Our students come from rural areas, less mobile. Taking part in professional training outside the place of their residence, and especially in another country, can break down barriers and points to the need for mobility and looking for the place in professional life outside the local community. The project is practical. It is expected that students learn many new skills useful in the profession of landscape architecture technician, such as: the use of modern machinery and equipment, getting to know new interesting species and varieties of plants, new technologies of tree tending and husbandry, forming small forms of garden architecture.
Selecting students on this professional training we are going to take into account students with exemplary behavior, positive grades from vocational subjects and the ones who show particular interest in issues related to the chosen profession. The participants of the project will be 18 students: landscape architecture technicians. The preparation for their stay abroad will be done in a number of areas: language, educational (assessment of their abilities and skills, rules of coexistence) and cultural (learning about the culture and customs of Germany residents).
The project aims at developing skills in the area of: designing, forming and decoration of modern landscaping with elements of small garden architecture. The project will also lead to an increase in students’ professional activity and also improvement in the creation by them new job places. Students participating in the project will improve their theoretical and practical knowledge, learn and preserve professional vocabulary and improve their communication skills. This will increase their chances of employment in companies involved in forming and tending of green areas. Completion of the professional training program will be confirmed with a certificate issued by the DEULA Nienburg center. Professional training completion will be also confirmed by our school. In addition, participants will receive the Europass Mobility document. New skills and their confirmation in the number of documents will definitely make the position of graduates more attractive in the labor market - both national and European.
Partners agreed that the project will include regulations concerning forming greenery and small landscaping elements, occupational health and safety rules while performing jobs and professional mobility when taking actions related to employment and running own business.
The effect of the project on the local environment will be qualified workers, attractive to employers. Experience gained during the project will result in getting a higher professional status and perhaps persuade graduates to set up mobile companies. All regional and national projects taken into account increase the mobility of students who are European citizens. It also makes an added value in the global labor market. In the long term, this will allow to raise the standard of living of young Poles. Thanks to projects like Erasmus +, European or international market will gain new, educated and mobile employees who are able to meet high professional demands in the field of forming and tending landscape architecture.
