Date du début: 1 juin 2015, Date de fin: 31 mai 2016 PROJET  TERMINÉ 

All the candidates, who participated in the project, were trainees in the public IEK of Piraeus in specialty " Culinary Art Technician" (7 sections, flow b and c) and in specialty "Economics Management in the Tourism Sector" (3 sections, flow a). They were all aged 18+ and the group was mixed, comprising men and women. Despite their vocational training for four semesters, they have not been able to get in contact with innovative techniques and specifications and particularly with techniques already used in advanced in tourism countries. Techniques, which are not taught in any educational institution in Greece, neither to students nor to professionals, something that degrades the quality of education offered to prospective professionals, highlighting the weaknesses of the Greek educational system to keep up with the latest technological developments. Many of them already work without special abilities and skills having limited experience, professional consciousness and behavior. They cannot appreciate the need of "lifelong learning", most of them will travel abroad for the first time needing urgently to improve their skills in a foreign language. This mobility project will definitely help them cover some needs and offer them some opportunities that the present curriculum lacks. Among the 170 trainees of specialty "Culinary Art Technician" there was great interest for participation in the program.
