In this project, we focused on fulfilling the goals resulting from our strategy of internationalization and the school development plan, which cover: 1. Professional growth and preparation of students for the international labor market - we focused on enabling as many students in as many fields as possible to obtain professional practice, training or work experience directly in companies 2. Professional development of employees and school management - constant development of professional, linguistic and personal competences of teachers and school management is a decisive factor for the successful development of schools 3. Development of international cooperation - active search for the latest trends, contact with partners, exchange of experience and best practice, as well as mutual exchanges of pupils and teachers are essential for improving the quality of providing VET in our region 4. Technical equipment - thanks to the network of international partners and the involvement of local and national partners, it is easier to get equipment for specialized classrooms and also to find ways of financing cooperation at the level of management and professional educators
Consortium Turiec to Europe, Europe to Turiec is very active in the field of international cooperation. For us, it is the key element if we want to develop schools on European level. We regularly and scucesfully apply for funding to fulfill our goals as best as we can preparing projects of individual mobilities, partnerships projects or projects for regional cooperation like Interreg or Visegrad Fund. We use them for planned and focused development of pedagogical staff as well as a possibility for students to gain valuable international experience, the future employees in our region. This project is follow up project after we were awarded VET Mobility charter in 2018, thanks to which we started to be even more successful in widening our networks and partnerships, gaining new methodologies, processes and approaches to best practice for school management as well as VET teaching staff and development of vocational skills and competencies of students and graduates in various study fields. This project helped us to move forward in fulfilling and solving needs of individual schools and of the coordinator as well.
