Moreover, the implementation of the project will constitute a chance to verify the educational offer of our school through the clash between the skills acquired by our students during the process of learning and the requirements of foreign employers. As a result of the project, our students will broaden their practical skills within the profession they are studying. They will improve their language and interpersonal skills. They will learn how to cooperate in the multicultural environment with people of different origin, faith or skin colour. Furthermore, they will see the newest technologies of work within the chosen professions, they will see the newest equipment of the enterprises and workshops, they will experience new culture and work organisation. Those groups are the next groups from our school visiting Portsmouth. The employers in Portsmouth have had the opportunity to cooperate with our students and they know that our students are well-prepared to work. Another group will additionally enhance that opinion on our students among the English employers. Thanks to that, in the future it will be easier for us to find partners to implement the professional work experiences and our graduates will be able to use such contacts when they will start to look for a job abroad. Moreover, the younger students will be motivated to learn, as only the best may take part in such visits, and it will influence the results achieved by the whole our school and it will improve its fame on the local educational market.
