Technical school in Vlasotince is among the first schools in Serbia which introduced a dual education system as we must constantly follow the job market demands in order to accomplish our purpose as a vocational school. We want to offer job-specific training to our students to provide them with work-based skills which can lead them to an increased employment opportunity or further education. However, local companies and car services cannot prepare the students for the wide and advanced European job market so we need a work placement and practical training in a famous brand authorized car service in EU country. The students of the educational profile of Mechanical motor vehicle technician will be included in this project and will learn to use new technologies and modern equipment for the purpose of diagnostics and repair of various car systems. Cooperation with experienced hosting organization and future contact will improve the European dimension of vocational training in our school.
