Europe has been rising up after the economic and financial crisis. The rate of unemployment, especially youth unemployment,is really high.Preparation of specialists in Lithuania has become more oriented towards development of practical skills and abilities; the guarantee for the youth employment is a good education applicable in the labour market. Once the knowledge, skills are gained, it still cannot guarantee the successful career in the contemporary labour market – skills and knowledge are to be constantly developed, therefore the mastery in the sphere of primary and further vocational education can be attained through flexible possibilities to learn and to get qualification, encouragement of the international mobility. It is possible to state that the mobility of students from institutions of vocational education and training, their practical working experience in institutions of vocational education abroad (practical professional training) as well as in organisations(practical learning at work) significantly improves the learning motivation, higher interest in the own sphere,development of practical–professional skills, development of intercultural and interpersonal features while this whole complex of skills and abilities helps the young person to get ready for the work in the contemporary labour market.Many people note that the teacher is a specific type of a specialist and can be characterised by some appropriate way of living, specific relations with others,professional ethics and other features. It is not enough that teachers are good for children and teach them on the base of the intuition, personal attitudes or the traditional wisdom. Contemporary teachers are responsible for their teaching methods to be effective. The profession teacher must be flexible, modern, able to apply contemporary educational methods by using IT possibilities, interested in educational novelties, constantly learning and analysing the own activity, creating own theories for the development of class activities, teaching,aiming to change the own school,because the changing context of the school forms appropriate requirements.The most important thing is the constant learning of the teacher as well as striving for the perfection, interest in novelties and practical transfer of the know-how.
