Project Summary

The project “Promoting the principle of attractiveness of two qualifications – „Engineering Communications Assembler” (Plumber) and „Gas Welder” (OAW) – combining gas welding, soldering, plumbing and metal construction in assembling”
goal is to provide training for students of three international vocational education institutions (Daugavpils Construction Technical School, Latvia; LBS – Graz5 (Landesberufsschule Graz 5), Austria; Lycée Urbain Vitry Professional Secondary School, France); vocational training of students and teachers of vocational education, combining two qualifications – “Engineering Communications Assembler” (Plumber) and “Gas welding” (OAW) to show, to some extent, an innovative approach to the competitiveness target group by improving the availability of vocational education in Europe.
Daugavpils Construction Technical School together with partners are planning to implement theoretical and practical training combining welding, soldering, engineering communications and metal constructions, whereby the project participants will develop a training stand using an innovative approach in the field of vocational education – two qualifications (“Engineering Communications Assembler” (Plumber ) and “Gas welding” (OAW). Project participants, especially learners, will be able to try in themselves different ways in welding: welding with mechanized equipment in the active gas environment (MAG), arc welding (MMA) and welding, combining their activities with engineering communications technicians. A training stand will be created. Within the framework of the project, materials will be acquired for training stand and practical training
The project’s direct target group is 15 students from three countries (5 from Latvia, 5 from France and 5 from Austria), 4 vocational education teachers from three countries (2 teachers from Latvia, 1 teacher from France and 1 teacher from Austria).
The project will be implemented in the Latgale Planning Region, – 87 Jātnieku street, Daugavpils, Latvia, taking into account international experience.
The duration of the implementation of the project – from 1 October, 2018 to 30 September, 2020 (24 months full).
