The mobility participants will be selected from classes providing training for hotel managers and administrators, office assistants, receptionist, catering, etc., based on their skills and experience acquired during their formal education. The selection will be carried out by a selection committee with the assistance of teachers / trainers from the VET Schools involved in the applying national mobility consortium. Among the set selection criteria are the level of preparation in the field of tourism, good knowledge of foreign language and motivation. The mobility will be carried out in 2 groups of 40 students in april-may 2017 at the "Anastasia” hotel, and the vocational high school in Greece. The trainees will be able to familiarize themselves with virtually the entire activity of the hotel and its staff and will be able to participate in the day to day activities of the receptionist, manager, chef, barman, waiter and other, responsible for the maintenance, service and logistics of the hotel. A comparison between the Bulgarian and the Greek educational systems shall be made as well as the establishment of an effective cooperation for the exchange of know-how and good practices between the educational institutions.The project will contribute to the improvement and enhancement of the professional skills of participants, their motivation for an active participation in the learning process and the use of all opportunities for actively seek and amass knowledge and skills as a part of the lifelong learning process. The students will improve their language training to a level of independent-use of English language with terminology specific to the chosen profession.

The students will gain a first-hand understanding of the business needs and conditions in the labor market and will increase their employability. The two-week vocational training at a workplace will be considered an effectively passed traineeship (pre-graduation condition) after the successful return to Bulgaria.On the other hand, the forming of a national mobility consortium of several institutions and organizations in VET from different regions of the country with the support from the business representatives will help in the dissemination of the results, experience and best practices among much larger audience and potentially stakeholders, which in turn will significantly enhance the impact of the successful implementation of planned project activities, both locally and regionally.The effective project implementation and the achievement of the intended goals will contribute to the increase in the attractiveness and popularity of VET and will contribute to the building of an effective bridge between the business and the educational sector and will help to close the cycle of learning - practice – employment at the labor market.
