The project aimed to help students develop skills that will support their personal and professional lives in the long term. A main goal was to improve their technical and practical skills through work experience in international restaurant environments, while increasing their employability and career readiness. In addition, we aimed to develop key skills such as communication and teamwork, as well as enhance their language and cultural competences through international exposure.
The project took place within the context of vocational education. Our organisation is a small public school in Cyprus focused on students’ personal and professional development. Students worked in restaurants, gaining hands-on experience and developing important skills such as teamwork and communication, aiming to improve their professional level and readiness for the job market.
