Project Summary

The project European partnership in professional education had been prepared by the partnership consisting of 9 organizations and 8 European countries (Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Croatia, Germany, Hungary, Norway, Spain, Romania). The partnership was created by vocational secondary schools as well as by an interest group of employers, for which the schools prepare their future employees. It was created for the purpose to connect the private and public sector focused on the support of regional development. The aim of the project was to approach the education to the concept of dual education where students are prepared directly for the companies.
The target groups of the project were pedagogical staff and students of vocational secondary schools as well as the management of local companies and mainly employees dealing with professional preparation, then the institutions participating in professional education and preparation as well as deputies of local governments, interbranch and professional organizations dealing with professional education.
Within the project we prepared 5 types of intellectual outputs:
O1 Qualification framework and competencies
The output consists of characteristic of national qualification frameworks of partner countries and proposal of tools for evaluation the quality in professional education. It also includes profiles of chosen professions with the list of knowledge, skills and competencies.
O2 Model of connection of professional education at school and in practice
The output comprises the proposal of the model of the professional education and preparation centre, the proposals of professional skills competitions, the proposal of education of pedagogical staff while working for their employers and the model of compulsory practice of elementary school pupils for their employers.
O3 the units of teaching ECVET with application on mobility
We created the ECVET units and educational outputs for certain professions as well as the ECVET guide book with an evaluation system and documentation.
O4 The reference book with excercises, tests and dictionaries of professional terms
We created the brochures with excercises, tasks and tests for certain professions, complemented by multilingual dictionary of professional terms.
O5 The model of work with marginalised communities
It is a methodical material for employees working with marginalised communities and pupils/young people with special educational needs.
The outputs of the project were formed by international work teams and were examined in participating schools.
Through the realization of the project, the partners acquired essential conditions for modernization of education, especially by know how experience and outputs of the project. The outputs were provided for some other schools and organisations in local communities. Workshops and researches will be implemented and the schools will cooperate with local community in implementation of activities. The outputs and impact of the project on education, together with experience of teachers, can be an impulse for the development of similar activities also in other schools in a region as well as in Slovakia. Many partners continue in cooperation in the frame of further project.
