Polish higher education faces one of the most important challenges - an internationalization. It is about taking up studies by foreign students in Poland, but also a Polish student mobility to temporarily studies in partner universities abroad and hiring academic staff from abroad or the participation of Polish lecturers in classes at universities abroad. An internationalization is also the gaining and exchanging of knowledge and experience. Polish membership in the EU and the development of a knowledge-based economy are the main factors conducive to increasing the degree of internationalization of the Polish higher education. The successes in this field are also the opportunity for further development of science and higher education and a stronger position of Poland in Europe and in the world. The Academy using the above-mentioned possibilities gains measurable effects on its development. The Erasmus Program enables us – a higher vocational school - expand our existing internships offer abroad and combine training with purely theoretical knowledge. This ensures that our students can research the market and find their own place in the two fastest growing industries, ie. hospitality and catering. Our main goal is to emphasize the international nature of education at the academy and gradual adjustment of the curriculum to the needs of the Program through our commitment to student and personnel exchanges and all international projects. The University has been participated in the Erasmus program for 14 years, successfully expanding from year to year a bunch of partner organizations, as well as the number of grant holders in each available to us category. The possession of an Erasmus Charter thanks to wide capabilities, as well as its specific profile of education, makes our school extremely popular and competitive in the market of higher vocational education. In the year 2014/2015 by participating for the first time in the new stage of the program, we tried to meet with all the obligations and do our best to prove that the funds transferred to the academy are used in the best possible way and serve the purposes established by the program - to develop the international nature of the academy and help young people and workers in their mobility outside the borders of our country. Within a framework of the project “Learning mobility - Action KA1” we managed to exceed the originally intended limit of students benefiting from training mobility for about 20 people and in this way we were able to subsidize a training to 227 students, studies mobility in partner universities – to 10 students and mobility of our teachers going with lectures and our staff going for training purposes – to next 10 people, making a total of 247 persons who left during the academic year abroad with the support of the EU. The Erasmus program + "changes lives and opens minds." The benefits of participation in one of its projects are invaluable and the fact that the Academy of Hotel Management and Catering Industry possess Erasmus Charter makes us proud, mobilizes for further efforts to maintain and even enhance the co-operation to make the internationalization of our academy one of its permanent, main and competitive feature, conducive to all our employees and above all to our students (domestic and foreign).
