The project „European internship as a chance for personal development” is a response to the youth's need to undertake professional activity and training in a given workplace. Participation in the project will allow the students, coming mainly form poorer rural backgrounds, often with unemployment and social exclusion problems, to take advantage of mobile development programmes. Due to the professional experience gained in hotel, ICT, construction and mechatronics companies the students will acquire better position on local and European labour market. The project is designed for the students of ZST in Kolbuszowa learning in the profession of hotel, ICT, construction and mechatronics industry. In the project lasting two years 54 students will take part. Three groups of 18 students, aged 14-18, will be chosen in the recruitment process according to transparency rules. The students will undergo 4-week internship in Spain and Germany. Our partners are TRIBEKA TRAINING LAB S.L. and BERLINK ETN GmbH which deal with promotion, organisation and international internships management as well as educational programmes for students, teachers, young employees and organisations throughout Europe. The main goal of the project is to increase the ability to gain empoyment by improving the quality of training, key competence, professional and language skills as well as to even the opportunities and develop entrepreneurship skills. Important aspect of the project is also to prepare the students to develop their qualities as European citizens along with democracy rights. Throughout international internships we would like to point out how important it is to acquire education, gain new cerificates and to learn languages in order to prevent social exclusion. Therefore we will have the chance to educate confident, open, communicative and respectful European citizens. They will develop their personal and social competence and our school will gain the image of modern insitution fulfilling EU objectives. By implementing project tasks school will improve the quality and adequacy of educational offer, within the next years it will increase interest in our school's training profiles as well as teachers' and students' motivation and activity. This will encourage students at risk of early school leaving to continue education and will strengthen the international cooperation.Before departure the participants will undergo language, pedagogical and cultural training.The cultural and linguistic programme will be continued in Spain and Germany (language course, cultural trips and meetings).
