Objectives

The aims of the project derived from the short and long-term strategy of our organisation.The aim of the project was to improve our students' and colleagues' professional competences, with special regard to their foreign language, entrepreneur, civic, intercultural and digital competences. A further aim was to develop a culture of learning and teaching methods, in particular to develop non-formal and informal learning opportunities in the field of knowledge capacity. The content and the structure of the education in our institute has a great emphasis on employment-based learning, foreign language knowledge and digital skills. With the mobilities designed we wished our students to gain valuable experience in an international environment and achieve high level of transversal skills. We expected the project to contribute to their marketable skills which enable them to enter the labor market and enhance their employment chances. Our institution aims to significantly reduce student drop-outs in the long term, improve learning outcomes, increase the reputation of the school in the region and at national level. Last but not least, we wished to strengthen the interoperability between companies and vocational training.
