The main purpose of this project was increasing of the employment opportunities of our graduates on the work markets (domestic and international), through formation abilities for complex hospitality service. The essential purpose of the project was considerable enlargement of abilities in the scope of practical use of the professional foreign language. The aim of the project was also to get acquianted with general rules of work organization and its grounds in other EU countries. One of the main purpose was professional mobility increase, too. which issue has become important in current situation on work market in Europe. Whereas, the aim of the teachers’ activities focussed on secondments in particular hotel departments in the regions of the increased tourism traffic, as well as learning modern marketing methods and managment. Thanks to full implementation of the said assumptions we have gained the assumed growth of abilities and competence of the project participants.
Implementation of this project constituted practical application of the assumptions included in the Strategy of Internationalization adopted by our school’s Pedagogical Council. Each, subsequent project executed on the grounds of this strategy has been richer than previous ones, using new, acquired experience, as well as better management and organization of the project activities, including deeper collaboration with our Partners from different countries. Pursuing it we intended to increase professional qualifications of our students and our teaching staff. Experience gained so far: comments of the participants, coordinators and foreign guardians convinced us of signifacant value of this kind of activities. The students often acquired abilities which probably would not have learnt at school or at the practical trainings in Poland. Extremely beneficial was also educational aspect of the project, which was very difficult to obtain only in the school institution itself – work in the international group of employees in another country, knowledge of new work standards, familiarization with culture and language of our hosts. Great deal of interest in the project shared by the school youth and the teachers additionally shows importance and necessity of this project implementation.
