What SPŠ a VOŠ Chomutov does

SPŠ a VOŠ Chomutov (Střední průmyslová škola a Vyšší odborná škola, Chomutov, Školní 50, příspěvková organizace) is a public technical secondary school and higher vocational school located at Školní 1060/50, 430 01 Chomutov, in the Ústecký kraj (Ústí nad Labem Region) of the Czech Republic. Founded on 16 July 1874 and celebrating its 150th anniversary in 2024, the institution is a contributory organization (příspěvková organizace) established and funded by Ústecký kraj. It delivers a four-year secondary technical curriculum (SPŠ) across five engineering disciplines — Automation Systems (A), Electrical Engineering (E), Mechanical Engineering (S), Computing Systems (V), and Technical Management — with the first two years common across specializations, plus a higher vocational track (VOŠ, EQF level 5) that incorporates a full CCNA networking certification in cooperation with Západočeská univerzita v Plzni.

The school's technology stack is built around laboratory-grade instrumentation: electrical engineering laboratories equipped with Keysight measurement instruments, Keysight VEE Pro graphical programming, National Instruments Vision Builder for machine-vision automated inspection, industrial digital cameras, stepper-motor-driven turntables, CNC machines, and 3D printers. Curriculum is reinforced through institution-developed digital educational materials (DUMy) authored by individual teachers and through a multi-vendor certification stack covering ECDL (accredited testing center since 2003), Cisco Networking Academy CCNA (since 2003), Autodesk Academia (since 2007), Cambridge English (Platinum centre via ELEC), Microsoft STC (Students Training Centre), and SCATE adaptive language testing. Industry partners — including ČEZ Group, ČEPS, United Energy, Nexen Tire, and Toyoda Gosei Czech — provide 2nd- and 3rd-year internships, equipment sponsorship, and employer endorsement ("Škola doporučovaná zaměstnavateli 2019"). International exposure is delivered through Erasmus+ (ID E10043195-CZ), eTwinning, and German-language teacher training in Dillingen an der Donau.

The business model is that of a publicly funded educational institution. The dominant revenue stream is the regional and state appropriation from Ústecký kraj and the Czech Ministry of Education, which covers instruction, facilities, and staff salaries. Ancillary fee income is small and includes ECDL testing (1,250 CZK per session), ISIC student-card issuance (350 CZK initial / 100 CZK duplicate / 250 CZK annual revalidation), transcript and diploma copies (100 CZK from 1 January 2025), and SRPdŠ membership contributions (500 CZK per student). Distribution is direct: students apply through the Czech national přijímací řízení admission process and receive instruction on campus. Go-to-market consists of open days (Dny otevřených dveří), virtual 3D school tours, drone footage, and active outreach to primary schools. Approximately 29 staff are listed in firmographic data, with around 40 teaching and administrative contacts on the school's contacts page.
