Greetings from Göteborg




Good morning World!

My name is Mia and I´m a VET teacher student at the University of Göteborg. During 5 weeks in September and beginning of October I did my first internship as a VET teacher at Burgårdens Utbildningscentrum. In this blog I would like to give you all a small introduction to the Hotel and Tourism program. The program is a Vocational program, a part of the upper secondary education in Sweden. The program is intended for students who wish to work with tourism, hotels and conferences. Burgårdens Utbildningscentrum is located in the city center of Göteborg and the school has 1200 students.  The school offers 4 different VET programs.

  1. Dear Mia,
    A nice and interesting presentation of your school. How does the school work with the well being with so many students? Do they have a special start up when the school starts?
