Background

Zespół Szkół Nr 3 in Sanok with 42 departments with a total of about 1,250 students is one of the largest schools in the region. In order to maintain their status, the teaching staff is to not only transfer knowledge, but also carry out a permanent evaluation of their needs and skills themselves, and independently, through the lifelong learning process, ensure that they represent the highest level of competence. In turn, the local industry, which is largely part of international enterprises or related and operating on foreign markets, expects our graduates, apart from basic knowledge and qualifications, to also have the ability to work and function in an international environment. For many companies (ARD Polska, PassPol, ASSECO), a large part of the production process is based on English-language documentation and in cooperation with international contractors. Therefore, it is obvious that only foreign internships for some students and then the proper process of disseminating their results can increase the effectiveness of the process of acquiring qualifications by our students in the professions taught.
