Practice is very important when you go to a commercial technical school, but in the first grade we usually studied theoretical subjects. And we wanted practice. To fulfill our dreams of learning a profession as soon as we found out about the possibility of participating in the Erasmus + program. Getting there was demanding. Then we had preparatory classes in professional English. We reached Italy in October. We stayed for two weeks at the Canasta Hotel in Rimini. Of course, we didn't go there on vacation, but just to practice our profession. We worked at the Par Ferr store. The store dealt with the retail sale of everyday items. Our duties consisted of:
- keeping order in the store,
-determining prices of goods and their labeling,
-Customer Service,
- issuing receipts,
-assistance in accepting deliveries.
In our free time, we visited Rimini and visited Florence, San Marino and Ravenna. We also did an Italian course. By participating in the project, we gained qualifications increasing our chances on the labor market, interpersonal skills, diversified our English language and gained the basics of Italian and, most importantly, practical vocational training.
