"Zagraniczne praktyki zawodowe atutem na rynku pracy"
Start date: Sep 2, 2016, End date: Jun 1, 2018 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The ZS Nr 3 in Warsaw (The Complex of Schools No. 3 in Warsaw – secondary technical and post-secondary Vocational Schools), having met the requirements and demand of the local and domestic needs and having taken care of the professional, intellectual and social development of our pupils, prepared the project entitled: “Foreign practical apprenticeship as a chief asset on the labor market”. The project relates to a four-week stay in London in order to let 20 students undergo the internship in the professions of the economy specialist and marketing specialist. The pupils will be accompanied by four teachers (two English language teachers and two vocational subjects teachers). London has been chosen for the venue of the apprenticeship as it is the financial and banking sector hub of the world. Our pupils, who in the future are planning to work as tax and financial advisors, accountants and entrepreneurs will be given an opportunity to get acquainted with the modern and contemporary methods of managing a business. Pupils who have chosen marketing field in which they would specialize will have a chance to transfer the good practices, which they will experience in the country where advertising companies have been operating for ages, onto the domestic Polish marketplace where the novice promotional-campaign firms have just begun to develop and operate on a large scale. Despite the fact that our school is situated in Warsaw, a great number of students come from the poverty-stricken families, and so the apprenticeship will be the only opportunity for them to find themselves in the international environment in order to have contact with other cultures and with people from different backgrounds, having different concepts, visions and attitudes. The primary goal of our project is the improvement of professional, linguistic, social and interpersonal skills of our students who would undergo the internship in a British company by developing the cooperation with the professionals representing other cultures, languages and work ethics. In the contemporary world in order to become competitive on the market, a candidate, apart from being a professional in his trade, must have a knowledge of a foreign language in the professional manner and become used to the cosmopolitan work environment. Undoubtedly, the practice which one acquires in London may give our students a chance to develop the aforementioned ideas, concepts and abilities.The participants will go through the project in the new social and cultural conditions under the watchful eye of the Polish supervisors and mentors from the ADC College. The students will get to know the particulars and details of the how a business, a firm, or any other form the private establishment is functional, operational and run in the UK. The students’ progress and achievements will be evaluated according to the gathered documentation in their portfolios, and so the participants will be credited with the Europass Mobility certificate. Pupils are given a chance to boost their own self-esteem and to discover new professional development paths. They may possibly take advantage of the newly-gained knowledge domestically or internationally. Having returned to Poland, the students will take part in the dissemination of the project results at the conferences, debates and meetings. For many of them it also poses a great challenge and new experience that will allow them to believe in themselves and their own capabilities.Accomplishment of the apprenticeship will strengthen and bolster the students’ chances on the local domestic market, will make it possible for teachers to improve their qualifications at the same time, and will inevitably and positively reinforce the image of the school as the establishment which takes on new challenges in order to better the quality of education and in order to have an incentive to collaborate more closely with other schools, employers and local authorities.
