The project titled "Hotel: Vocational Training at European Standards" addresses a group of 28 tenth-grade students from Colegiul Economic "Emanuil Gojdu" Hunedoara, in the field of tourism. The project aims to increase practical skills for those 28 students, by carrying out practical training in Italy on two flows.The option for students' practical training abroad is due to the fact that there is a small number of hotels in our locality which can and want to develop cooperation with educational institutions, in the field of tourism. Our choice for Italy is due to the country's reputation in the field of tourism, in order to have direct access to examples of good practice in tourism. Practical training will take place abroad, in two flows: Flow 1 at the end of the school year 2016-2017, for a period of 2 weeks, from June 12, 2017 to June 25, 2017; Flow 2 at the end of the school year 2017-2018, for a period of 2 weeks, from June 11,2018 until June 24, 2018, in hotels from Bologna with which YouNet has practical-training contracts.The project objectives are in accordance with the specific objectives set out in the Erasmus+ Programme Guide, as well as acquiring competencies in order to improve personal development and employability in the European labour market.Overall goal: improving, during the twelve months of the project, the practical skills of 28 tenth-grade students that are in the period of initial training in the basic training field of Tourism and Catering – Intensive English at Colegiul Economic “Emanuil Gojdu” Hunedoara.Specific objectives:1.
