The students were going to participate in a 4 weeks-long vocational training placements in transport companies and hotels. We had divided 52 students into two groups. The first group’s placement took place in May 2015 (16 students accompanied by 2 tutors went to Seville and 10 students with 1 tutor went to Granada in Spain), and the second group’s placement took place in May 2016 (26 students accompanied by 2 tutors). In regard to the needs of our students that we had identified and the established objectives, we had decided that a placement in real work environment was the best way to gain professional competence required on the European labour market. The main objective of this project was the best possible preparation for entering the union labour market in the transport and hotel industry as well as broadening the European dimension of vocational education. The main objective had been achieved through the execution of the detailed aims: 1. The general vocational objectives - acquiring skills in comprehensive guests/customer service, - extending theoretical knowledge obtained by the students during school courses by practical training, - learning team work skills, - forming an intercultural dialog based on understanding, respect and tolerance for other cultures present in the workplace and everyday life, - forming an attitude of recognition and acceptance towards diversity in the work place, 2. Vocational objectives - introduction to work standards in European enterprises, - learning guests/customer service procedures, - acquiring skills required in given work posts, 3. Linguistic objectives - enhancing the foreign language vocabulary range, especially in the field of vocational language, - improving language skills (speaking, writing and reading comprehension in English and learning same basics of Spanish), - breaking the language barrier and gaining ease of communication, 4. Other objectives - acquaintance with professional documentation and computer programs, - gaining mobility, - reducing inequality of opportunities for acquiring practical skills on European labour markets for young people from rural areas and small villages and for students with special difficulties with learning (young people from such communities shall account for a large part of the project’s participants). The project responded to the need for increasing educational and vocational mobility of young people to the EU countries, supported their social and vocational activity, promoted learning the foreign language as an important part of the vocational training process. Implementation of the project was also going to increase the students’ chances of finding employment after finishing their education as well as improve their mobility in the field of job searching.
