Prof. E. Pijanowskiego in Warsaw. The participants of the projects are third class students of technical college attending the profile of catering technician. The students will be divided into four groups, each of them consisting of 16 students who will go to Germany for their internship within 2 years.The aim of the project is to enable the students to get their professional training in Germany, which in our opinion will contribute to the development not only on professional but also on a linguistic level especially as far as professional German is concerned. Professional training abroad can also contribute to providing our students with a good start in the job market. The purpose of the project is also to exchange experience and to promote the idea of professional training abroad and work experience as the chance to become a wanted employee in the job market.In order to implement the project there will be convened a team responsible for each stage of it.
