Constant changes pose new challenges for teaching staff as well as education personnel responsible for vocational training, who need to provide high-quality vocational training according to European standards and the needs of job market.The main aim of the following project is to improve the skills of 15-persons teaching staff, as well as education personnel responsible for vocational training, through one-week job shadowing practice in teaching and vocational training centres in Lisbon (Portugal).Teaching staff as well as education personnel who easily travel around Europe, speak foreign languages and are ready to acquire state-of-the-art knowledge on vocational training and job markets, as well as getting to know and understand international community, are a guarantee of efficient and effective vocational training that conforms to high standards and European Qualification Framework.The project is an answer to current CKP’s needs and its fulfilment is expected to help improve the quality of education, bringing tangible benefits to teaching staff, education personnel and students. It covers three important issues: monitoring of vocational training processes, particularly various types of practical training that support vocational counselling, as well as educational programs aimed at counteracting premature drop-out from education. Teaching staff as well as education personnel will be able to directly take part in educational processes of Portuguese educational institutions teaching the following vocations: construction, carpentry, automotive repairs, electronics, renewable energetics, information and communication technology and food processing. While monitoring the educational process in the following fields, they will learn the techniques of teaching and motivating, particularly students at the risk of premature drop-out from education. They will acquire knowledge on how Portuguese educational institutions utilize various types of practical vocational training supporting vocational counselling at the level of primary, middle and high school.The project will also result in the development of personal, language and inter-cultural skills of teachers and education staff. Upon the completion of the job shadowing practice in Portugal, each member is planned to receive Europass Mobility document that facilitates international recognition and improved presentation of skills and qualifications, helping them to enter European job market. The project will help to make CKP more international, which will become a competent partner for European educational facilities, providing professional and high-quality practical vocational training.Improving skills of CKP teachers and education staff, getting to know and understand Portuguese vocational training system, particularly practical training in vocations, interesting educational programs and types of instruction supporting vocational counselling and preventing premature drop-out from education, as well as being open to cultural and language diversity, will support the transfer of best practices and innovational solutions in this aspect onto the Polish ground.
