The main goals of the project were a 2-week foreign internship of 32 students of the Construction School in Opole, constituting an integral part of the curriculum in the professions covered by the project, gaining professional experience and acquiring new or improving qualifications and professional skills, which in turn will contribute to increasing the chances of finding a job, and thus reducing unemployment on the local labor market among students / graduates of Construction School in Opole. Through the implementation of the project, we particularly wanted to achieve: - an increase in the professional and personal potential of participants; - an increase in the participants' language skills and competences; - an improvement in the skills of students and their competences that will be useful in the future on the labor market, - ability in dealing with difficult situations, including the ability to negotiate and mediate (at work and outside of it); - validation of the acquired skills of the participants during the internship and enrich their CVs through the Europass Mobility document, Europass CV, ECVET.
There were many reasons for applying for this project. Our many years of experience in the activities of the Erasmus + program show that this way of acquiring knowledge and skills by students is extremely effective. The correlation of many areas: professional, linguistic, cultural and social means that students develop in many directions and achieve a significant increase in these skills in a relatively short time. Erasmus projects also benefit not only the participant himself, but also the school and the local community. The school, through the implementation of projects, is forced to constantly evaluate the content provided - contact with the international environment allows us to learn new methods and means of teaching, but also new technologies and trends in a given professional area.Polish education does not offer any other way of getting to know the above-mentioned areas. The only possibility for international development remains the Erasmus + program. These projects are also used by the local community, mainly thanks to final work carried out in public institutions, such as Opole Hospice, Provincial Hospital, University Clinical Hospital and Veterans' Aid Home in Opole.
