Within ther activity KA1 for VET learners we intend to build on the previous six-year´s experience with Leonardo da Vinci - Mobility program that enabled us to send students for vocational internship abroad to get a quality vocational training of their future profession there. We plan mobilities to six European countries (Cyprus, Great Britain, Germany, Spain, Italy, Slovakia). We would like to extend the program and, in addition to students of chemical programs that prevail, send abroad also students of the newly taught programs at our school - Chemist of fire protection, Beauty services and students of the apprenticeship program Hairdresser. Vocational training is a means of new knowledge acquisition and practical skills gaining. A foreign vocational training has proved an invaluable experience with the different occupational and cultural environment and also a strong motivation for their further learning. It also increases the quality and the atractiveness of the vocational education. In accordance with the curricular reform internships enable the development of civic, professional and key competencies and also in practice meet the cross-cutting themes. By passing through the language preparation and then the very internships students will improve their language portfolio. They will enhance their communication skills and also extend the vocabulary of technical terminology. The great benefits we also see in the possibility to learn the demands put on their profession, recognize learning opportunities and employability on the European labor market. The practices will be conducted at workplaces of chemical or pharmaceutical companies or in laboratories or at educational institutions (secondary vocational schools of a similar kind, technical colleges). In case of Italy, Germany and Slovakia the mutual exchanges are planned. The partner schools in these countries as well as our school are members of CREDCHEM Network. Under this arrangement we collaborate in the implementation, development and experimental validation of the European Credit system of vocational education ECVET for chemical sector. Students of the branch Chemist of fire will undergo the practical training at the vocational school in Žilina, that disposes of an excellent technical background in the field of fire fighting equipment. Students of branches Beauty services and Hairdresser will get training in cosmetic and hairdressing salons of a vocational school in Bratislava. These internships are mutual as well. All internships will be certified with document Europass-Mobility and will be validated as an integral part of the educational cycle. VET staff development: In recent years, vocational education records significant changes for example in the structure of fields of study, in technology of education, in using new teaching resources and devices, in composition of students, it must face little interest of students in studying technical and scientific fields. These changes put greater demands on teachers of vocational subjects and laboratories, teachers must more intensively watch the news in their field, work with new technologies supporting teaching, cooperate with teacheers of another subjects, namely maths. The need for the project comes also from the lack of foreign experience which teachers should have, from the need to improve their language and professional skills, from the need to enhance attractiveness of vocational education, increase quality and inovation of teaching and prepare graduates for needs of national and european labour market. The aim of the project is to initiate personal and professional development of teachers and a transfer of new trends in vocational education. We want to achieve this by enabling our teachers of vocational subjects internships in four EU countries where teachers will gain new experiences with vocational training in schools of similar focus, gain new ideas and examples of how to use modern teaching tools and methods based particularly on ICT. They will know the level of cooperation between schools and employers and other social partners, increase their motivation for further cooperation at European level.
