The project Work and Learn in Europe involved 3rd-year-students of Tomas Bata Business Academy Zlin. We included 18 students of all study fields, which are: business economics, tourism, international trade and public administration. The students spent four weeks working in Plymouth - Great Britain, and Leipzig - Germany during April 2016, each of them doing job connected with their branch of study. The trainees have gained work experience and they learnt about the organization, strategies and work habits in the European environment. The main aims of the project were obtaining practical skills specific for the particular jobs, improving English/German communication, learning about European culture and behaviour, and becoming more self-confident. The trainees have learnt to solve problems and be independent in the English or German speaking environment. This work experience was also motivating for the trainees' schoolmates as well as for future vocational students. The outcomes: work experience recorded in Europass Mobility, which can be used when looking for a job both in the Czech Republic and in the whole European Union. Other outcomes are communication skills in English or German considering everyday conversation at home and work, and better knowledge of special terminology in foreign laguages. We have also tried and implemented two units of ECVET as one of a series of European instruments that target improvements in recognition and transparency (with the trainees in Great Britain). The long-term objective was to strenghten the employability of our students and facilitate their transition to the labour market. The activities in the project Work and Learn in Europe supported developing the European dimension of our insitution.
