Students from ZSB will deepen their skills in biology (the systematics, anatomy and physiology of plants and animals) and mathematics. They will also take part in activities such as collecting, storing and preparing seeds of forest trees and shrubs; determining the species composition of forest crops in terms of resistance to diseases and pests; protecting them with fungicidal and mould-inhibiting preparations and against fire; classifying timber; and organising, supervising, harvesting and extracting timber.
After completing their placements, the students will receive certificates from the German and Polish partners confirming the training completed and their vocational preparation. In addition, they will receive a Europass Mobility document describing their qualifications and skills, which will be helpful when looking for their first job.
The month-long placement will take place in Leipzig, Germany, and was prepared in cooperation with the school’s partner, the Europa-Haus Association in Leipzig. The project is worth EUR 68,144 and is being implemented as part of the systemic project “Foreign Placements and Internships for People in Vocational Education and Training”, under the European Social Fund, Human Capital Operational Programme, Priority III – High Quality of the Education System, Measure 3.4 – Openness of the Education System in the Context of Lifelong Learning, Sub-measure 3.4.2 – Promoting Lifelong Learning.
“We wish all the foresters a pleasant and eventful stay in Leipzig, as well as every success during their vocational placement,” say the teachers from the “budowlanka”. “We are keeping our fingers crossed for you. See you in a month.”
