INVOLVED STUDENTS
35 students from our 7 departments of 2nd year BTEC National. Some of them are involved in our International Section or our European Sections (in English or Spanish) and are implied in a European approach during their three years of BTEC National. Those from the European sections, with their high school exam, can receive a "European section" mention on their diploma.
THE INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK OF THE PROJECT
The main target is to get better knowledge of the foreign languages through mobility :
- In the vocational school, creation of an International Section in 2008, of a European section in English in 2009 and in Spanish in 2011.
- Work placements abroad are also proposed to the students in Higher National School (BTS).
PURPOSE
WIth globalization and international labour mobility, it is important to prepare the students to that new economic background, a real opportunity for their professional future.
GOALS
Our school has a motto “ EDUCATE, ACCOMPANY, PROMOTE”. That is why we would like to :
- Promote the learning of foreign languages in the vocational school.
- Offer these students the possibility to open themselves to different cultures and ways of working.
- Make it easier to get transnational qualities (mobility and adaptability) in order to face the present requirements of the job market in a multilingual and multicultural Europe.
- Combine the professional career interests with the self-enrichment to make the placement a highlight in the professional course and in the social and professional integration.
- Promote the vocational school within our school, for the sake of equal opportunities for all.
