Motivation for the preparation and processing of this project was the need to raise the level of teaching in the woodworking industry by mapping the standards of professional practice in partner entities. Familiarity with the form, documents and practical examples of professional practice for students in this field. The information obtained will be subsequently processed into information material that can be used as a basis for teaching, inspiration for secondary schools and other entities as needed. It was important to draw attention to the necessity and need for this field, to remind important companies operating in this field and to ensure sufficient training of teachers teaching the field in secondary schools. Another motivation was the interest of the participating entities to cooperate and work on increasing the level of knowledge of their employees in the provision and structure of vocational practical training in relation to modern technologies and their applicability in practice. Not all of the participants have access to modern technologies, an adequate amount of information or the opportunity to learn about the applicability and usability of specific modern technologies abroad in a corporate or scientific environment.
