The main goals of the project were the development of professional skills in Dublin companies, knowledge of the economic reality in Ireland, intercultural education, increasing language skills, improving digital skills, learning tolerance, independence, flexibility and the ability to make independent decisions. Another goal of the project was to strengthen the international dimension of the education received at the school through internships at partner employers in Ireland and awareness of the importance of continuous education in life.
With the "Work Placement Abroad" project, we improved the quality of the professional training of its participants for their successful employment on the labour market, strengthened the digital competence of pupils, increased professional and general knowledge and skills in the English language, increased a positive attitude towards learning and education and developed soft skills such as teamwork, problem solving, application of skills and communication. It was prepared for pupils of the 3rd year of the school, 18 pupils of the business academy and the economical lycée took part in it. The internship enabled the participants both to acquire new professional and language skills and deepened existing knowledge and skills in the environment of a foreign company. At the same time, the pupils had the opportunity to compare the work and lifestyle in Ireland and the Czech Republic. Thanks to the foreign work placement, the education at the school was expanded by a European dimension and the pupils enlarged their level of professional skills in an international environment.
