General Information
Göteborgs Praktiska Gymnasium (GPG) is an independent upper secondary vocational school with Baggium AB (Ltd) as the principal and Baggium has 23 schools in Sweden. The staff at GPG amount to 20 persons and the students are about 170. The budgetary resources at GPG is about 1 900 000 Euros a year and almost all of the sources of the funding is from the Swedish state based on the Swedish school system that every student has their own sum of money free to choose school. We have a Leonardo da Vinci project (27140 Euros) awarded to exchanges of vocational students with Turkey, collaboration with a vocational school in Gent, Belgium, contact with Culture Clinic, Gothenburg (two students to Ukraine). We have continuously seminars when our students return after a visit abroad. We have been awarded the title of model school from the National Agency of Education last year.
Mission and Objectives

Our mission is to give our students access to the labour market. They are connected to a workplace throughout the training period during, which 40-60% of the three-year education takes place with an instructor who follows the student’s work.
One of our objectives is to give the students possibility to employment at the company where they are trainees and approximately 75% of them is employed.
About the international part at GPG we have one objective to send as many students as possible to do a part of their practical training abroad, at the moment 10-15% of them do. That sum will increase ahead.

Main Projects / Activities

We have collaboration with three vocational schools in Turkey (Amasya, Ankara and Antalya) and we are sending students from the Vehicle- and the Textile programme for one month of practical training. This is a Leonardo da Vinci project and mostly of the economical support is from EU. We also have received students from Gent, Belgium as trainees (electricians) and we intent to send some of our students to them next year.
