Project Summary

“Development of teaching materials for vocational education of deaf people in HORECA sector” is a strategic partnership project implemented by partners from three countries: Poland, Hungary and Greece. The partnership is composed of institutions supporting the deaf people, training institutions of international scope and employers from the HORECA sector. The project objective is a translational cooperation in the field of improving the quality of vocational education of deaf people in the hotel-restaurant-catering (HORECA) industry. Thank to exchange of best practices between partners from three countries solutions supporting deaf people to prepare for starting employment in this industry were developed. During the project implementation, following results were developed:
1. Training courses for deaf person in the workplace in the hotel and gastronomy sector for 10 professions selected in terms of adequacy for deaf people. Training courses are dedicated to deaf people who want to start working in the following professions: barista, bartender, waiter, chef, confectioner, gardener, baker, technical, porter, maid. A package consisting of a syllabus (training program compliant with the European Training Framework), description of the profession and a set of instructional videos has been developed for each of the professions. Instructional videos consisting of a sequence of scenes related to tasks performed in a given profession are translated into the national sign languages of the partner countries and contain subtitles and a voice-over recording in a given language. The films are available in Polish, Hungarian and Greek.
Developed materials are useful for:
– employers who can use it to train potential employees
– deaf people who want to improve their skills on their own initiative
– vocational teachers – as an additional teaching tool.
2. Thematic dictionaries include basic expressions recorded in sign language that are necessary for communication at work between a deaf employee and the hearing part of the team. The dictionaries are prepared in the national languages of the Partners (spoken and sign language with additional inscriptions). Dictionaries include vocabulary used in works in the area of the 10 professions from the HORECA sector. They are useful for deaf people, their managers and colleagues, to support communication at work. They are also useful for teachers from vocational school because they help them better prepare deaf students to work in the HORECA sector.
3. Deaf at work – the manual for employers from HORECA sector who intend to hire a deaf person. The manual contains the characteristics of deaf people, strengths of deaf employees, possible problem points, instructions how to prepare team members to work with deaf he manual for employers from HORECA sector who intend to hire a deaf colleague. Vademecum can be used after minor modifications also in other industries where deaf people are employed. The manual has been prepared in a shortened version (containing the most important information) and a full version (dedicated to people who want to explore the topic).
