The mission of our school is to prepare graduates for the contemporary requirements of the market economy, including equipping students with the knowledge and skills necessary for further education and professional work, making it easier for each student to realize their aspirations and their own development, and creating active and responsible attitudes necessary to live in a modern society. By implementing the "Experts of their trade" project, we wanted to increase the professional competences as well as language and cultural skills of its participants. Based on the monitoring of activities and the final evaluation, it can be concluded that the goals and assumptions of the project were achieved. The implementation of the EU project contributed to the personal development of all participants, who broadened their theoretical and practical knowledge in real working conditions, learned to respond to problem situations, and improved teamwork and social communication skills. The aim of the "Experts of their trade" project was also to improve the quality of practical education and the language and organizational skills of the school staff. In addition, increasing intercultural awareness, innovation and flexibility in school activities.
"Experts of their trade" is a 12-month project, co-financed by the EU, addressed to young people studying at Zespol Szkol Ponadpodstawowych im. Stanislawa Staszica in Radomsko, which was carried out in the period November 1, 2022-October 31, 2023. The main goal of the project was to increase the employability of 30 students on the domestic and European labor markets, including a significant improvement in their professional competences in the following industries: automotive, mechanical, surveying and construction, as well as the development of language skills. In addition, the project contributed to developing students' personal and social skills, increasing independence, motivation and entrepreneurship. Foreign internships allowed them to learn about other cultures and broaden their horizons and worldview. As part of the project, its participants were guaranteed accommodation, food, travel, pocket money, insurance and a special program that deepened their knowledge of the Greek culture and history. The project involved 30 students of our technical school studying in the following fields: mechanical technician, surveying technician, construction technician and car technician.
