It is the school’s response to a constantly growing need for technical specialists on the job market, who at the moment lack practical experience including professional experience and internships abroad. The goal of the project is to show attractive methods, solutions and practices within the field of vocational training of electrical technician and IT technician (exchange of experiences). The main objective is to combine theory with practice, which would inevitably lead to strengthening the link between the world of education and work.
The concrete objectives of the project are:
1. Increase of the quality of education, in particular, in the area of electrical engineering with the focus on “green energy” and in the area of IT with the focus on “creating applications on the ANDROID platform”.
2. Implementation of innovative programme, didactic and educational solutions by obtaining and introduction of new tools and methods in teaching electrical and IT subjects.
3. Effective change of learning habits of students and teachers by encouraging the use of didactic innovations to make lessons more engaging

There will 64 beneficiaries of the project: second-grade and third-grade students of technical high school specializing in electrical engineering and IT (32 students in each profession), who will be chosen in the process of recruitment taking female students into particular consideration. There will be also 8 teachers from Zespół Szkół Politechnicznych w Głogowie participating in the project, but not less than 4 teachers of electrical and IT subjects.
Teachers and students will partake in a 14-day-long internships in two Spanish schools in four rounds, each round involving 16 students and 2 teachers (2 rounds for electricians and 2 rounds for IT technicians).
During each of the two-week internships in one of the Spanish schools students and teachers will take part in 60 hours of training in the electrical and IT field, which are not included in the Polish curriculum. Moreover, there will be 40 hours of Spanish language learning provided and 2 excursions introducing the participants to the culture and history of Andalusia. The schedule of the visits and trainingships, accommodation, food and safety rules have been agreed on between the participating organizations.
Methodology of the project will be based on the questionnaires carried out among all the participants before, during and after the project. On top of that, each participant and each group will be interviewed. EuroMind will carry out the evaluation questionnaire as well.
The project will increase students’ knowledge and skills, which will allow them to have bigger opportunities on the job market as well as will increase their efficiency in professional learning.
