The project’s objective is to enhance the quality of vocational practical training for students by promoting better cooperation between partners from the tourism sector and schools of tourism and hospitality. The focus is on strengthening the capacity of schools for effective cooperation with the private sector by changing the profile of the vocational practical training co-ordinators to an interface between schools and the private sector. Project measures include guidelines for broadening the profiles and competences of the practical training co-ordinators and their adaption to the respective national contexts, support to the introduction of this new profile, training and quality assurance measures and, in the case of Montenegro, the creation of a national Web portal for an enhanced flow of information between schools and the business sector. The regional focus of the project enables the exchange of experience in this field between Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Serbia and Austria.
