Vocational Training Programmes for Students (VET)

We organise comprehensive and innovative vocational training programmes for youth groups from across Europe within the Erasmus+ Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector. Our projects combine traditional vocational learning with elements of non-formal and intercultural education, enabling participants to develop not only technical skills but also social, linguistic and interpersonal competences.

If you represent a school looking for a host organisation for your Erasmus+ VET project — we invite you to Rzeszów. We are an experienced team designing coherent and meaningful programmes that include both practical training and activities aimed at strengthening the competences of future professionals, regardless of the field of study.

We work with students from a wide range of educational profiles. We design programmes for IT students, electronics technicians, hospitality and catering students, cooks, waiters, environmental protection technicians, administration and civil service students, and many other specialisations. Depending on the needs of the group, we can organise practical workshops, study visits, project-based activities or structured traineeship programmes — always tailored to the school’s profile and the participants’ level of advancement.

Our programmes go far beyond vocational training alone. We enrich the stay in Rzeszów with cultural and language components, including city and regional visits, participation in local events, language workshops and integration activities with young people from the region. As a result, students not only gain professional experience but also build confidence, openness and readiness to work in an international environment.

We ensure full organisation of the stay: accommodation, meals, comprehensive logistics, coordination support and ongoing communication with teachers and group leaders. Each programme is developed individually to align fully with the school’s objectives and the needs of its students.

In November 2024, Rzeszów became a place of learning and work for a group of students from Budapest, from BKSZC Mándy Iván Szakképző Iskola, who joined us for a two-week VET programme.

Their daily routine looked different from school life. Instead of classrooms and textbooks, there was a real restaurant kitchen, a fast-paced environment, and guests at the tables. The students completed their placements at Capella Restaurant & Lobby Lounge, where they could see how a restaurant operates from the inside. They supported food preparation, worked with guests, and explored different aspects of gastronomy, from the kitchen to service.

Work was an important part of the programme, but not the only one. During their stay, the students also took part in language workshops and interactive sessions in our space. These were led by European Solidarity Corps volunteers, who shared their experiences and cultures. It was a time for conversations, shared activities, and a chance to slow down and get to know each other better.

Projects like this show something that is difficult to learn in a classroom. Working in a new place, in another country, and in an international environment allows participants to look at their future profession from a different perspective.

We would like to thank Capella Restaurant & Lobby Lounge, the teachers, and the students from BKSZC Mándy Iván Szakképző Iskola for these two weeks together. We hope that their time in Rzeszów was not only an opportunity to learn, but also an experience that will stay with them for a long time.

The project was made possible thanks to funding from the European Union.
