This project will be a cooperation between the afternoon and evening technical school of Polis and Limassol and Italian companies (specializing in the areas of catering, electrical, plumbing and mechanics). The project aims consider the enrichment of the participants skills in their professional areas, increasing their competencies in new technology and innovation and developing participants language skills. The project will enable 66 adult students to take part in placements in Italy. About 90% out of the participants are unemployed, seeking new employment opportunities. About 10% of the participants are employed but seek to enrich and upgrade their skills and knowledge so as to maintain their jobs. Participants will work in the areas of cooking, plumbing, mechanics and electrical engineering. They will be challenged to work with new technology (both software and hardware), manage various equipment, come across innovation and new working techniques. Sending schools recognize their limitations in providing participants with satisfactory skills (due to lack of adequate workshop machinery, equipment and technology ), and current local industry situations (due to economic crisis they stopped investing in innovation and technology). Italian organizations will provide participants with the skills they need so as to qualify them to meet the challenges of their work. Participants will transfer attained knowledge to the local industries. By enriching skills and competencies Cypriot industries will become competitive again. By the end of training, participants will: - become qualified in their respective professional areas. - possess skills that they would not have if they were placed in Cyprus - become confident about their capabilities. - become capable to apply attended skills and techniques in their future working areas becoming valuable members of their future employers. - gain competitive advantage over rivalry colleagues ensuring they will be picked up by potential employers (for the unemployed) - maintain their jobs by demonstrating new skills, new techniques and innovation (for the employed). Sending schools will: - improve their image at local and national level. The participation of our schools in European programs may contribute positively to the schools image. It can also increase adult student intake in technical and vocational education in general. - improve the learning environment as a result of the efforts of beneficiaries to meet the selection criteria, which are associated with their achievements and attitudes. - provide an excellent opportunity to introduce the schools in a European and international context of learning.
