The project “SouthEstRo-AgroVET-Practice for Professional EuRoCompetencies in Agriculture” comprises the best opportunity of improving practical experience of VET students from five technological high schools with agricultural focus, located in three counties from Sooutheastern Romania and Bucharest, all acting as partners in a consortium.
This project applies to eleventh grade students – professional focus as veterinary technicians for employment in livestock farming – and twelfth grade students – professional focus as veterinary technicians for employment in slaughterhouse and meatpacking industry, in order to obtain professional qualifications according with the OMEdC-approved curriculum, no. 1847 from 08.29.2007.
It serves the purpose for the target students to acquire key-competencies and abilities necessary in their profession, as well as real, practical experience in an European-style agriculture, simultaneous with nurturing their emotional intelligence and theoretical, linguistic and intercultural experience.
