Abstract
Technical and vocational education and training (TVET) makes a significant contribution to economic competitiveness and welfare in a global knowledge-based economy. The main challenge for vocational education and training is to meet the changing skills needs of individuals and the world of work in accordance with the principle of lifelong learning. Authors introduces the project “Model for improving the quality of graduates and job applicants in the European labour market” elaborated and submitted by the two Slovak institutions of higher education - Dubnica Institute of Technology in Dubnica nad Váhom and the University of SS. Cyril and Methodius in Trnava, Slovakia. The paper presents research results of the Slovak National Project supported by the Slovak National Grant Agency KEGA. Below, we are focussing mainly on evaluation of methodology for improving professional language competences of students of secondary technical and vocational schools through the so called “Project Semester”.
