PROJECT
FINISHED
The Paul-Spiegel-Berufskolleg (PSB) has been granted the German title "Europaschule" in 2007 as it has enabled students, with the help of the Leondardo da Vinci- program, to gain work experience in neighbouring foreign countries since 2003. It is a project intended to be serving the interests of the whole school and has been developed further continuously. Enlarging the project was one of the goals we were able to achieve with the new Erasmus+ program. 122 students of our school were able to participate in our AVE Erasmus-program between 2014 and 2015. The project was a huge success which is the reason why we would like to start the follow-up project AVE Erasmus 2 this year.Particularly interested and suited students and apprentices of the PSB are enabled to get to know the world of work in another European country. Furthermore, they are able to increase their theoretical knowledge and their jobwise skills as well as their command of different languages and get a non-touristic impression of the respective country. Within the last years, the experiences the PSB has shown that the participants have better chances to get a job and above that to develop their personality. Besides its economic focus the PSB also promotes students with a technical, commercial, health and socio-pedagogical orientation. The program is intended to be open for all students attending an eligible course of education. About 70 students can participate in the different offers of internship. The new Ave-Erasmus- program can be regarded as an innovation of the previous project. Besides being a German acronym, Ave is also Latin for "be greeted". In Spain the word is also used to refer to a big bird and a high speed train. Values like flexibility and mobility are therefore covered by the selected acronym. The AVE program contains three different modules: Ave-flow, Ave-individual and Ave-Canarias. In all three cases the PSB is the applying and responsible organisation. There are four different partners in the Ave-flow module which host the students. These partners are located in Spain (Seville), England (Brighton), Ireland (Dublin) and Italy (Sizilien/Barcellona Pozzo di Gotto). The duration of the internship is four weeks from September till October, including the autumn break. The PSB and its partners organise the flight, transfer, internship, accommodation, language course and a cultural program for the students. The internships are selected to fit the students' course of study. This module is equal to the one that has been carried out over the past few years. The Italian organisation has been our partner since 2014. All other organisations have been well-known and trusted partners for several years. Within the Ave-individual module the students organise everything themselves. The PSB just checks the application and the suitability of the company and supports the students whenever necessary. The departure can, in this case, take place throughout the whole year and its duration can vary depending on the students' needs. However, both aspects have to be discussed and specified in detail. This module was especially created to serve the special interests of students whose training company has either a branch or close business partner in a European country.Last but not least, the Ave-Canarias module cooperates with a partner on the Canary Islands and offers internships in upscale hotels. The PSB is well acquainted with the partner organization on Tenerife by now. The jobs assigned are again depending on the students' course of education. The hotels can employ various professions from carpenters to hair dressers and office clerks. The duration of this internship is five weeks and includes three and a half weeks of the summer break. By evaluating the wishes and needs of the apprentices and companies we have adjusted the application in order to enlarge and individualise our offer. The goals mentioned above are being considered and implemented in all modules of the AVE-internship.
