The project expects the participation of 12 students of the coming 3rd grade of the School of Catering for a two-month professional internship (August and September 2014) in hotels in the Austrian southern Carinthia. The receiving partner Bildungsberatung and Vermittlungsagentur in Osterreich (BVO), represented by Mrs. Aldona Biedermann, is known at our school from the cooperation within the Leonardo da Vinci project in 2013. The aim of the project is to connect the sphere of professional education with the world of work in German speaking environment, versatile reinforcement of the key competences and professional qualification of interns, their introduction to the Austrain culture, environment and its working ethic, and reinforcement of language knowledge of German language as well. In accordance with the national system of qualifications of the Czech Republic and the European system ECVET, the participants strive for self-development in the process of learning and out of it. They do this in individual preparations, during their working stay in Austria and even during spreading results of the project. The quality of the project is guaranteed with a certificate, evaluation of the progress in the area of ECVET (reinforcement of qualification in branch) and with obtaining the Europass mobility in the Czech and German languages. We can see a potentional long-term asset in several levels.The presentation of the internship of the students of our school, their parents, non- professional and professional visitors of our school, representatives of Velké Meziříčí and the Vysočina region during the Open Day increases the school credit, and the credit of the Vysočina region and the whole Czech Republic in both the national and international context. The presentation of the results takes place through media ( Radio Vysočina, school websites, websites of the town Velké Meziříčí, printed and electronic newspapars) as well. Another contribution is the motivation of the interns to participate in other long-term internships in German-speaking, English-speaking, Italian-speaking or French-speaking countries. The motivation of younger students to take part in the similar project is taken for granted. The interns promote their internship as a part of their final written project and the oral defence in front of the maturita committee. Last but not least, the participation in the internship within the project or within the continuous internship opens the door for the future graduates to work in any European or non-European coutries. The motivation for lifelong learning is significantly strengthened as well.
