Our School aims to improve the quality of the professional training it offers to respond to the need for continuous improvement in the results of the EQAVET framework indicators. We intend to implement new procedures in the preparation, negotiation, elaboration and monitoring of Individual Work Plans. This way we will be able to respond to suggestions that the host entities have made to us and simultaneously increase the level of satisfaction of potential employers with the skills of our graduates. The possibility of collaboration with schools and FCT entities in the European space represents not only an opportunity to incorporate innovative good practices into our FCT management processes but also an opportunity to create conditions for the involvement of students/trainees in transnational FCT experiences , with relevant and meaningful learning that simultaneously promotes their autonomy. The majority of trainees come from a more disadvantaged economic and social background and to provide them with the possibility of experiencing and contacting another culture and other ways of doing things will contribute decisively to their development as individuals and better professionals.
Our organization is a secondary school, so the main activity is teaching and learning, but also monitoring professional course graduates in their professional internships in companies and organizations external to the school, internships that are essential to completing their training. Our school offers three areas of scientific-humanistic courses divided into 39 classes (Visual Arts, Languages and Humanities and Sciences and Technologies) and three professional courses (Laboratory Analysis Technician, Tourism Technician and Interior and Exterior Design Technician), the later being the target audience of this project, with a total of 9 classes (one per year in each course).
