The implementation of the project, within which students undergo foreign vocational training, allows young people to be educated according to the core curriculum of the profession in a modern way. It also affects the authority of the School in the local environment, among potential partners, which in turn relates directly to the identified needs and key areas requiring improvement indicated in the European Development Plan of ZSZ No. 1 in Włodawa. On the basis of ongoing diagnoses of the needs of students and teachers, the management staff tries to adjust the priorities of the institution to the identified needs. The implementation of projects on a transnational scale affects the attractiveness of the educational offer, the development of professional and soft skills in students and teaching staff. Representatives of the ZSZ try to constantly work and influence on the development of the institution, while increasing the quality of the teaching methods. They focus primarily on the acquisition of practical skills, which, supported by theoretical knowledge, allow for the actual application of the competences acquired at school when performing professional tasks. In all of the above aspects the idea of the project matched perfectly.
