Each group will be accompanied by two school teachers. The length of internship - 4 weeks, one group in May 2016, another group in June 2016.
The project was prepared in response to the apparent need to improve and expand vocational qualifications and gain mobility on the labour market required from school leaving students which could be achieved in the course of training in a country belonging to the European Commonwealth. It is also to decrease the number of unemployment and drop-outs rate in EU. Students with no professional experience have little chances of finding decent employement according to received school training and satisfy the local labour market with highly and widely qualified employees. With this aim the project perfectly suits the aims of the EU's growth strategy for the coming decade "Europe 2020". The projects also reflects the need for young adults to increase sense of initiative and entrepreneurship, openness, flexibility, increase self-esteem and self-empowerment and improve foreign language permormance. The project will prevent our students to be excluded from the local labour market as well as it applies to one of the EU politics which is mobility on the labour market. Our students need to know technology of dish production, customer service work organization both in hotel and gastronomy industry in other EU countries, not only in Poland.
Therefore the aim of the project is to support our students in their mobility on the labur market, help them gain new professional skills, aquire basic knowlege of another European language, learn methods of work organization in workplaces, as well as culture and traditions of the host country.

The students will aquire practical professional and language skills, their self-esteem will increase and mobility will be acknowledged by the Europass Mobility and other certificates and references. The school will gain more interest in local environment both among those interested in vocational training and among local education authorities and management due to high quality and attractive training offer.
