The execution of the project „We gain experience in Europe – work practice as an approach to modern job market” lasted 24 months. (From 01.06.2014 to 31.05.2016). The project’s objectives are preventing youngsters from precocious deserting educational system by the way of raising the level of crucial competence and abilities, including language and professional competence. The project is to help minimize the number of people threatened by poverty and social exclusion, strengthening the international educational dimension, increasing youngster’s mobility, promoting European values, promoting awareness of foreign cultures and traditions, shaping attitudes towards openness and tolerance, learning about aspects of working in a culturally and socially different environment, pointing out the need of continuous enhancing qualifications. The group of participants of the project consisted of 34 students of technical college Zespół Szkół Zawodowych im. Stanisława Staszica w Barlewiczkach. The students attended their third year of classes with the following specialities: hotel technician ( 11 People), auto mechanic technician ( 8 People), feeding and gastronomic services technician ( 9 People), computer technician ( 6 People). The students left for four-week professional traineeships in Plymouth (Great Britain). Also, a group of 11 graduate students (6 computer technicians and 5 feeding and gastronomic services technicians) joined the Project. The graduates’ probation also took place in Plymouth and lasted three months. The first graduate to take part in the probation departed in December 20014, and after her, in May 2015 the group of 16 students together with two tutors. The third group, of ten graduates, left in September 2015. The last group of 18 students and two tutors left in October 2015.
