YEAR 2010 NEWS

With the beginning of August the Labour Market Institute has started another project in the Swietokrzyskie province: "Young’s career in Your hands". This project will support the Staff of junior high schools, secondary schools and trade schools. Project will end 31.05.2011.

Developing teachers competence is one of the greatest importance in pupils progress. With the knowledge acquisition and new skills, teachers can become more responsive to the changes dictated by the labour market and common computerization of society. As it`s well known in the case of rural youth, teachers also have an extremely important role of professional advisers. Through the appropriate tools, teachers can support students in choosing the way of living and prepare them to function in society. These initiatives will contribute to equal opportunities for young people in the labour market and they are undoubtedly a source of satisfaction of school staff.

The project is a response for growing demand for competence development of teachers. Teachers in rural areas have limited opportunities to improve knowledge and skills. Therefore project "Young’s career in your hands" offers schools employees 80 hours of free training. Each participant of the project will take part in two blocks:

• Block I, Module I: Training in career counselling (48 hrs.);
• Module II: Training of prevention (48 hrs.);
• Block II: Training of the use of ICT in teaching (32 hrs.).
