Start date: Sep 1, 2016, End date: Jun 30, 2018 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The main purpose of the project is perfecting vocational qualifications and getting experience by students of logistics and trade in the context of planning, organizing and controlling the processes of procurement in a company, in order to be able to make conscious decisions about their future career path and personal development. Organizing international apprenticeships, our school is attempting to face the socio-economic challenges on a volatile labour market. Our actions aim at reinforcing our students' development according to their needs and abilities. Vocational training, for both logistics and trade professions, is carried out in school classrooms all year round, while work placements in real work conditions last only four weeks throughout the entire education course. Doing the work placement within international companies under the eye of qualified instructors and among students' peers will enable students to gain experience and competence hard to be acquired domestically. Improving the vocational language skills in logistics and trade, as well as developing personal and social competency sought by employers, will affect positively students' confidence as workers and citizens of European Union.

The students study full time and acquire their skills in simulation classes and during four-week work placements in companies. After passing qualification exams students graduate from the technical college as technicians gaining diplomas in logistics or trade.
