JOB SHADOWING STAFF MOBILITIES
ZNI has been welcoming teachers from various countries for their job-shadowing experiences. Job shadowing provides foreign teachers with insights into the operations of Maribor companies and institutions across different sectors.
After preparations at our office, they visit different schools and companies, gaining a broader perspective and exchanging experiences. ZNI organizes visits to companies or institutions, where representatives present their work processes, methodologies, and the activities they undertake. This mobility allows teachers to exchange valuable information, gain a deeper understanding of the work, and broaden their horizons. Upon returning to their institutions abroad, teachers report back to their colleagues, sharing the knowledge they have newly acquired.
