Moreover, students themselves are aware of the fact that developing professional competencies and improving language skills will enable them to find a relevant job position (being in accordance with acquired qualifications) in the future. The school tries to support the development of knowledge and skills on every educational level and executing mobility projects is one of more important methods being supportive for students.The project will be focused on 4 main objectives:1) (an) increase of professional competencies and students’ professional mobility – 30 students – IT technician profile and merchandiser profile,2) (an) increase of professional competencies and students’ professional mobility – IT technician profile and merchandiser profile through preparing changes in education curricula of the aforementioned professions and its better adjustment to the labor market needs (local and international),3) (an) increase of the international partnership through establishing direct relations with a new party form Portugal and host organizations,4) (an) increase of the school’s potential in the area of executing apprenticeship programs through preparation to the ECVET system implementation.Participants’ description:10 students – IT technician profile + 5 students – merchandiser profile (including one custodian/supervisor) will have their apprenticeship in Italy (Bolonia), an analogical group 10 students – IT technician profile + 5 students – merchandiser profile (including one custodian/supervisor) will have their apprenticeship in Portugal (Evora). Students, prior to their foreign apprenticeship, will undergo a set of preparatory activities (cultural ones, language-oriented) and many organizational meetings. The aforementioned preparations led by qualified and experienced teachers will ensure a high level and contribute to implementing project’s assumptions, (such as: an increase of language and interpersonal competencies). Activities and project’s achieved objectives will be spread massively – the school will engage local media, parents and local companies’ representatives in this process.
