This project concerns students preparing an NVQ level 2 in hairdressing, it allows them to do a work experience in the U.K. (the work experience being part of their curriculum). Considering that studying hairdressing is no more a motivation for young people, we want to give this vocational training a new direction via the practise of English for vocational purposes. The aims are : - to give an added value to vocational training - to motivate and to give ambitions to students - to give them a contributive factor towards open mindedness - to improve their capacity to get a job either in France or abroad (more and more bi-lingual hairdressers are required). 26 students are involved in this project which will last for two years (12 students the first year, 14 the second year), they are aged from 15 to 19 years old, they come from secondary education ; either from the 4th year or from classes for students with special needs (such as non French speaking students or students from remedial classes) and they have a low level in general education. What is more, a work experience in England has already been achieved in 2013, it concerned students in NVQ level 2 and WARWICKSHIRE COLLEGE, our partner in the U.K. was involved. This experience established the necessary tools like documents for assessment, hair salons and host families which will lay the foundations of future projects. Consequently, the challenge is to motivate the students with concrete situations in their field of learning mixing English learning and vocational learning situations that they can experiment either in France or abroad. As often as possible, the teaching progression includes the TIC (Technologies of Information and Communication) for example the making of a lip dub to present the class to the partners in the United Kingdom. What they can get out of it : For the students : better results at the exams, a better qualification, the enhancing of their skills and in the longer term, a better integration in the job world either in France or abroad. For the school : - A better attractiveness to hairdressing - More motivated students - A better image of the hairdressing department with other diplomas in preparation. In the long term, the school image is strengthened with our British partner and we plan to do more exchange programmes with students not only in hairdressing but also in Beauty, Fashion and Retailing departments which are also present in our partner’s school. To conclude, the European financing programme is necessary to ensure the continued existence of such a project.
