The main objective of mobility is to deepen and upgrade existing skills and acquire new skills through in the field of economics and metallurgy. We want to enable students to compare ways and legality of operation of economic systems and economic entities at home and abroad. Among the priorities of our school is definitely the development of cooperation with companies at home and abroad, the integration of school education and practical training, and the acquisition of many key competences to ensure better qualification and competitiveness of our students on the labour market. Improvements offered to students include work experience in foreign companies, development of specific competences of economic and metallurgical technician professions (technological processes, work equipment, tools, ICT novelties - various processing of databases or other computer programs), awareness of the level of knowledge of a foreign language, strengthening of social competence, competence of entrepreneurship and self-initiative. The experience gained contributes to greater motivation, self-confidence, to greater integration into the wider community, which significantly affects the personal and professional development of the individual.
Secondary School Slovenska Bistrica implements various educational programmes: the secondary vocational education programme trader - seller, the secondary vocational education programme - economic technician and since September 2016 also the metallurgical technician programme and the general education programme - grammar school. The school is located in the centre of Slovenska Bistrica. Due to the development of the metal processing industry in the town itself, the demand for personnel from the field of mechanical engineering and metal processing has increased in recent years. In close cooperation and support of Impol 2000, d. d. , we are the second school in Slovenia to start the metallurgical technician programme. As we want to enable students of metallurgical and economic engineering, besides developing key competences - acquiring theoretical knowledge, developing working skills, communication, getting to know other countries, cultures and transferring practice from abroad to their home environment, we offer them the opportunity to participate in international projects such as Erasmus+ mobility.
