ROMANIA | erasmus-plus-szemud

Colegiul Auto Traian Vuia is a vocational secondary school in Târgu Jiu, Romania. Our students ages vary from 3 to 50 years old, because we have kindergarten, primary school, secondary school, high school, but also evening school for adults. We are the only high school that implements the Second chance programme (trying this way to improve the inclusion of Rroma adults into society). It has 90 teachers and over 1000 students who study technical disciplines like Environment Protection, Mechanics, Electro-mechanics, Textile Industry, Tourism and Public Alimentation.

Over time it has been a constant source of skilled labor for all transport companies from the public and from the private sector, students trained here managing a rapid integration in the labor market.

School workshops have the facilities required for the simulation of a production process, which leads to performance in practical training.

With very qualified teachers and a proper management of time teaching we are trying to pursue performance and development of skills related to their future jobs. But in the past 5 years things have changed and more and more of our graduating students must migrate to other countries in order to find jobs.

Due to the constant change of the job market requirements our teachers need to boost up their teaching skills and learn how to make sure our students will acquire the 21st Century Key Competencies during their studies. That is why we decided to join this project.

Over time our school has been involved in many type of projects, competitions and activities, aiming at offering the best education, formal and non-formal for our students.

We have run so far two Comenius projects and two Erasmus + projects.

We have had some 3 POSDRU projects that have had a strong impact on our students helping them acquire better skills for their future careers.

Smaller scale projects such as those on Etwinning were implemented in the last few years and they have participated with success in many European and national competitions.
