Srednja šola za gostinstvo in turizem Celje (Secondary Vocational School for Catering and Tourism Celje) is one of the most modern vocational schools in Slovenia offering 5 educational programmes for the catering and tourism sector (about 700 full-time students and adults) as well as training programmes for National Occupational Qualifications or short courses tailored to the needs of individual hotel and catering enterprises. The teacher and student teams of SŠGT Celje participated in numerous outside catering events on the local, regional and national level (e.g. events during the 6- month presidency of Slovenia of the EU, world congresses in Ljubljana, reception of the British Queen Elisabeth in Slovenia etc.)
The school was coordinating the consortium of the Slovenian schools educating for the catering and tourism sector in the 2-year national project (reform and modernisation of the educational programmes) in close cooperation with the Ministry of Education, Science and Sport and other national bodies involved in VET.
The school was among the first which applied ECVET tools for recognition of the learning outcomes acquired by the students during the mobility.
A wide network of national and international partners (Austria, Germany, Spain, France, Ireland, Croatia, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Belgium, Italy, Poland, Norway, United Kingdom, Portugal, Malta etc.) represents a good basis for dissemination and exploitation of the project results
Since 2002 the school has been involved in more than 20 EU co-funded projects (Leonardo da Vinci mobility projects (IVT, PLM and VETPRO), LdV-Transfer of Innovation, Accompanying measures, Language projects etc.) and Erasmus+ mobility projects).
The school received 4 national “Quality in Mobility awards“ (the last one in 2018) and the European Language Label award (2008) for the partnership in the project EuroCatering Language Training. A further reference for the quality of mobility projects is the Erasmus+ Mobility Charter in VET which was awarded to the school in 2015.
It was the first Slovenian vocational school which applied for the mobility project as the coordinator of a consortium of Slovenian catering schools covering 6 different Slovenian regions. Important national partners who have been often involved in the project in different roles are: The Chamber of Commerce, Association of Hoteliers of Slovenia, Centre for Vocational Education and Training , The National Education Institute Of The Republic Of Slovenia, Ministry of Education, Science and Sport etc. Besides, it has a strong network of partner companies in the hospitality and tourism sector on the national level.
