All mobilities and activities planned for the project were completed successfully: 1) ERASMUS PRO - three students, (2 boys and 1 girl), electrical engineering technicians and electronics technician after completing their third year of high school went through three months of professional training in companies in UK. 2) 14-days mobilities for twenty-five 3rd grade students who had their practical training in companies and school workshops in Denmark, Spain, Slovakia and UK. That experience is important for better educational results and gaining additional practical competences. 3) Mobility of five teachers who took part in job shadowing in partner schools in Finland, Portugal and Estonia, which is essential for their further professional development.The participants in the mobility were third-grade students in the following fields: electrical engineering technician, IT technician, mechatronics technician, electronics technician and road traffic technician. Electrical engineering technicians have completed compulsory professional practice during mobility period, which is a prerequisite for them to enroll in 4th grade.Other fields - IT technician, mechatronics technician, electronics technician and road traffic technician do not have foreseen professional practice as a part of their new experimental curricula, but through mobility they had the opportunity to get insight into real working environment.The school has verified the professional practice and work experience that students acquired during mobility period as a professional practice conducted in the Republic of Croatia for electrical engineering technicians, and for other fields as part of learning outcomes from specific vocational courses or additional knowledge through Europass Mobility and ECVET.All participants were under the age of 18 and it was their first experience in working in a company / school in a foreign country and communicating in English. For the purpose of assessments of participants' progress and satisfaction with mobility, but also as assistance in completing the work diary or helping with any difficulties during the mobility period participants were in 80% accompanied by teachers.

Mobility of students, teachers and professional associates (both as sending and as receiving institution)2. Partnerships with domestic and foreign educational institutions, companies and social partners3. Effective management and implementation of international projects4.
