Start date: Jun 1, 2015, End date: May 31, 2017 PROJECT  FINISHED 

In the centre we prioritize development in assessment based on the students and the institution striving for progress, searching different options to meet the educational needs of young people, parents and employers, delivering high-quality vocational education and training. The institutions management annually reviews the implementation of strategic plans, the most important achievements, certain failures, analyzes the current situation, determines its own areas for improvement. The greatest need to develop an international project was noted after completing the National Agency for School Evaluation external audit in 2014. Audit findings clearly indicate that international projects brought many innovations to the institution. It is recommended to further develop the internationality strategy, transfering the aspects that could be further improved to the Centre‘s strategic plan. To ensure better quality, a strategic plan for years 2015-2017 was developed. It aims to develop a partnership, cooperation, encouraging the mobility of Erasmus + projects. That would help the students to develop internationality, main competencies, general abilities, motivation, ability to study. It is important to mention that, according to the National Agency for School Evaluation external evaluators, the weak areas of the center were - self-assessment activities and organization of the training process. Keeping the centre’s strategy for the years of 2015-2017 in mind, the main organization's requirements correspond with the project goals. Goals: 1. to improve the quality of vocational training, developing self-evaluation competences, organization of both teaching and learning processes, promote learning motivation, ability to learn; 2. to acquire practical skills in a professional workplace, develop professional, basic, social, intercultural competences and general competences; 3. to develop partnerships, collaboration, international mobility of community members; 4. to reduce social exclusion.
