Context/background of the project;The basic context of this project is based upon tourism as an industry in many countries in the world is industry which provides a lot of jobs for young people and has serious impact on the economy. In Macedonia the participation of tourism is rather with modest influence on GDP (approx . 2%) but huge potential to impact the economy of the country in near future. Lots of effective measures were lately undertaken in order to attract foreign tourists, but at the same time the quality of restaurant services remained same as before. All relevant analysis of the country (latest Labor Market analysis of Employment Service Agency) showed that there is a STRONG NEED to improve the knowledge, skills especially of the human resources in the hospitality sector. Problem of each country involved in the project: young people unfortunately don't stay too long in the hospitality jobs, they mostly see this as a temporary jobs and less as a possibility for career. With this project we are promoting awareness among young population for upgrading their skills as cooks or waiters.General objectives are aimed to:- improve the employability of unemployed young people on the job market at hospitality sector - to strengthen key competences in VET curricula and providing more effective opportunities to acquire or develop those skills through I-VET and C-VET with relevant competencies and valuable knowledge, skills and attitudes for the labor market of tourism - to enhance the access to training and qualifications for all through C-VET, in a life-long learning perspective, especially by raising awareness on the cook and waiter careers in Europe - to improve transparency and recognition of skills and qualifications, by comparing different European training curricula and developing two new courses, both with traditional and online structure;- to develop innovative training curricula, for these two professions based on the extensive research, practice and on job training training and prepare policy recommendation for hospitality sector- to disseminate project results and outputs to the wide range of beneficiaries such: schools, VET centers, training centers, chambers, employers in the field of hospitality, policy makers in the sector etc.Number and profile of participating organisations;Three partner organizations are participating in the project implementation Training Center CES- Macedonia, INSIGNARE - Associacao de Ensino e Formacao, European Grants International Academy Srls Unipersonale.
