For further development in the Austrian-Czech border region, local companies need personnel who have the skills to prove themselves economically in both countries. The conditions of education in VET colleges and vocational schools in the border region do not currently meet the needs of the cross-border labour market. This is primarily due to the diversity of the education systems and the lack of opportunities to provide vocational and interregional skills. Cross-border cooperation between VET colleges and vocational schools is still in its beginnings: School partnerships only take place on the basis of individual exchanges and are usually limited to getting to know the neighbouring region. The overall objective of the project is the pilot establishment of a cross-border vocational training, which takes place both in the Czech republic and in Austria as well as the preparation of the recognition of the achieved competences. The aim of the project is to increase the coherence between the education systems in order to improve the human capital resources and thereby utilise the opportunities of the cross-border labour market. This goal requires cooperation between educational institutions on both sides of the border. Therefore, a cross-border approach is essential. By supporting sustainable cross-border school co-operation, joint system-relevant measures are being developed and implemented. In addition, activities will be carried out to help students in their decision-making process on their future careers or orientation in the labour market, and to make the most of human resources in the border region. Core output: Participation of 200 students in joint training projects within the framework of pilot school cooperation Participation of 97 teachers in educational activities for career orientation Participation of 300 pupils in vocational orientation activities Participation of 100 pupils in transnational practice activities Participation of 55 teachers in transnational practice activities Guide to building cross-border school cooperation Thus, from the project will benefit first and foremost the populations and regional companies, which will in the future be provided with young, skilled workers who, in addition to excellent professional skills, will also have interregional and linguistic skills.
