Participants in the project "Students' - "Staże zawodowe uczniów w zagranicznych przedsiębiorstwach"will include students of Zespół Szkół Zawodowych (Basic Vocational School )who receive training in the following occupations: cook, confectioner, hairdresser, car mechanic, and automotive electrician. The students attend full-time classes with an educational cycle of 3 years. The foreign apprenticeship is an integral part of young persons' vocational training and supports their entry to the job market. The project involves sending four groups of 16 students each on 2-week vocational apprenticeships in Germany and Portugal (2 groups in each time frame). The main objective of the project is perfecting vocational education and highlighting the benefits and necessity of continuous education. The apprenticeship will enable the students to work in a multi-national team. This will provide an opportunity to combine theoretical knowledge learned at school with practical skills and to apply in practice the professional skills acquired so far. The students will have an opportunity to develop key competences in their respective professions in a modern way which harmonizes with the expectations of the job market. While overcoming challenges of e.g. language barriers, new surroundings and work environment in a multi-national team, the participants will develop characteristics desirable in further education and professional carrier, i.e. mobility, creativity, entrepreneurship, thereby boosting their job market opportunities. Participation in the project will raise the awareness of the need to continuously improve one's skills, which is of crucial importance in the age of constant change. The students will receive the Europass Mobility document and certificates confirming their participation in the apprenticeship drawn up by the host organization as well as employers. For the purposes of organized mobility, we will implement the components of the ECVET system. A Memorandum of Partnership will be signed with each Partner, stipulating the terms of cooperation, learning outcome units for mobility and learning outcome evaluations.In their free time the participants will have the opportunity to learn about cultural and historical heritage of the partner country.The school will also benefit from the project. Such benefits will include: enhanced quality of vocational training, increased competitiveness on the educational market, expanded offering of vocational apprenticeships, developing cooperation with Polish and other European employers, gaining prestige and improving recruitment performance, and, last but not least, providing students with a successful start to their career.German partner Werkstätten Stadtkirchenverband Hannover gemeinnützige gGmbH in Hanover will organise apprenticeship in confectioner and automotive electrician professions.Portuguese partner Associacao de Mobilidade Intercultural Euromob – in cook, car mechanic and hairdresser profession.All the institution have thorough experience in organising apprenticeship, giving an opportunity to gain professional experience and learn about the traditions and culture of their country.The apprenticeship will run 2 weeks:I group – in November 2016 – GermanyII group – in May 2017 – PortugalIII group – in September 2017 – PortugalIV group – in April 2018 – GermanyStudents will prepare multimedia presentations documenting the apprenticeship.
