PROJECT
FINISHED
Our centre, Technical College Luis Suñer Sanchis, located in Alzira (Valencia province) teaches Vocational Training since its creation 30 years ago.
At present it has a staff of 70 teachers and nearly 700 students.
We teach Intermediate and Advanced Vocational Training (VET and Superior Studies). The studies we have are the followings:
- Administration and Management
- Electromechanic Maintenance
- Telecomunications Installations
- Refrigeration and Calorific Installations
An outstanding part in this formation is the Training Practice (the professional form for Training in Workplaces), that is carried out with the help of the companies.
Our project “Alzira Proyecta“, focus on the professional development of our teachers, and on the improvement of their teaching quality. This project will also make the communicative competence of its participants better. The employability will increase the awareness and understanding of other cultures and countries. This will make us to have the opportunity to build international social networks so as to achieve a sense of European citizenship making our college open to other European countries.
We try to achieve all this objectives with the following actions:
- The mobility of Vocational Training students in European companies. The centre is in charge of just one mobility action in our present project.
- The mobility of teachers for his / her formation in foreign companies or institutions. The centre is in charge of one mobility action in our present project.
- In the future, our school will take part as a hosting institution for students and staff from other countries.
The election of the participants will be depending on the centre’s necessities. Our school will establish a fair, transparent, coherent and certified selection process. Our school will also set the process and the criteria selection. An European Programme Committee will be created to perform these tasks.
Our selection criteria will take into account the candidate’s motivation, the mobility objectives, the desire to share the experience after their return, the academic record and the linguistic competence.
Our school makes an important task to widespread the project in our own school by giving talks to make them know this initiative. At the same time during their training period, the participants tell their own experiences through social networks, and interviews.
The diffusion throughout the Valencian community is done through meetings with the parents, awareness session for entrepreneurs, open house days, orientation sessions, and conferences at The Youth Institute in cooperation with the CEFIRE (Formation Teacher Service in the Valencian Community), Student Fairs, ...
The media, with which we maintain cordial collaboration will contribute to the dissemination of the project and individual actions (Alzira Rádio and Onda Cero, Local Digital Press and county: The Double Six, Riberaexpress.es).
Our centre has also start making contacts with partners in differents European countries. (Totnes European School, Qualo Training and Mobility, “A Rocca “Associazione Artistica Culturale). With Totnes previous collaborations have been carried on. The other partners have extensive experience in the management of European programs, which will be a valuable support in the development of our project.
All our scheduled actions will give us an improvement in our teaching quality, in our national and international opinion, being a model for coming students.
Besides it gives our personnel chances and incentives to acquire competences joined to our centre’s necessities.
