Start date: Jul 1, 2014, End date: Jun 30, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Erasmus+ mobility project for Vet learners “Abroad Apprenticeship - an asset young technicians need” is aimed at the students of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th year of the Technical School no 3 in Zespół Szkół Technicznych i Ogólnokształcacych w Busku – Zdroju (Technical and General Education School Complex in Busko – Zdrój). These are students who study in the fields of landscape architecture, construction and hotel business. The learners will undertake the vocational training placement in British companies which deal with landscape architecture, construction and hotel business. The sending organisation is Zespół Szkół Technicznych i Ogólnokształcących, Busko – Zdrój, Poland. The partner organisation is Polaris EU Enterprise Limited which is situated in Stafford in Great Britain. Since the beginning of its existence it has been successfully dealing with the EU educational projects. It has been specialising in serving groups of Polish students and teachers coming to Great Britain to have a vocational training, apprenticeship or to share experience. The main aims of the project are improving professional and language skills of the participants and making sure that there are no barriers or differences concerning workplaces in the united Europe. It is also important to raise the students’ motivation to improve and develop their professional and language skills. It is crucial to enhance their sense of belonging to the European community. Learners will have the opportunity to compare working conditions and standards in different workplaces in Poland and abroad. They will do activities encouraging openmindedness, raising and promoting intercultural awareness and enhancing the ability to adapt to new working and living conditions. The students of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th year of Technical School no 3 in ZSTiO in Busko-Zdrój studying landscape architecture, construction and hotel business will be the participants in the project. Two mobilities will take place. In the autumn of 2014, a group of 8 students studying landscape architecture will leave for the apprenticeship (with 1 teacher) and a group of 8 students studying in the field construction (with 1 teacher as well). In the spring of 2015, 8 students of landscape architecture with a teacher and a group of 8 students of hotel business with a teacher will count for the second mobility. The students of ZSTiO come mainly from the rural areas with a high unemployment rate. Most of them come from incomplete families with only one parent and with a low financial status. The great majority of ZSTiO students have never been abroad so far. The activity planning concerning the project implementation was based on the rules and criteria included in the European Quality Charter for Mobility. The preparations to the Mobility will include logistic planning, promotion, recruitment, a course preparing the students for the foreign apprenticeship and signing the contracts. During the mobility the students will have the care and support of the sending institution and the partner institution. Monitoring, evaluation, dissemination of taken actions and results of the project will be conducted during and after the project. Metodology of the project implementation will include workshops preparing for the mobility, cultural activities in Great Britain, apprenticeship in British companies and institutions, skills and knowledge asssesment according to ECVET standards and an examination of professional and language skills. Practice plan will be consistent with the Polish curriculum for students who study in the fields of architecture, construction and hotel business. The principle of recognition of education will be applied and the mobility participants will not have to re-take the same practices in Poland. The project participation will result in upgrading the professional qualifications of the students. They will become more attractive on the labour market and they will also improve their language skills. The mobility will motivate them to broaden their knowledge and acquire new skills in Poland and abroad. They will be more open-minded and tolerant towards different culture and tradition. The long term effects will be that the sending institution will become more competitive in comparison to the other schools and it will gain prestige. The project implementation will promote cooperation, learning form each other in the international environment and sharing knowledge and experience. Dissemination will increase the recognition of the work carried out by the European Union programmes. It will also encourage some other national and foreign institutons to take part in and benefit from the activities of the Erasmus+ Programme.
