Through its educational programmes, the school contributes to the development of vocational education, prepares young people for various occupations and meets the needs of the local economy.
Over the course of its development, the school has adapted its educational programmes to changes in the economy and society, keeping pace with the current needs of the labour market. Today it is an institution that links theoretical knowledge with practical skills, giving pupils the opportunity to prepare for employment or for continuing their education at higher education institutions.
Teaching is organised through three-year and four-year educational programmes covering various areas of business, finance, administration, trade, tourism and hospitality.
Practical training, through which pupils acquire professional skills and become familiar with business processes, work organisation and the application of their knowledge in real and simulated working conditions, is of particular importance in the school’s work.
In addition to regular classes, the school organises various educational activities, school projects and presentations of its educational profiles, contributing to the career guidance of young people and their preparation for their future occupations.
