CHS, Centrum Humanberuflicher Schulen des Bundes Villach, is a secondary vocational school providing higher education entrance qualification and comprises the following specializations:
- Höhere Lehranstalt für wirtschaftliche Berufe (business administration)
- Höhere Lehranstalt für Kommunikation und Mediendesign (communication and media)
- Höhere Lehranstalt für Kunst und Gestaltung (arts)
- Höhere Lehranstalt für Modedesign und Grafik (fashion design)
Within the project "CHS all around Europe" 28 CHS students completed their internship in various EU countries. The duration depended on the students' specialisation and varied between four and twelve weeks. All mobilities took place between 1 June and 27 September 2015. The receiving organisations were located in the UK, Italy, Malta, Germany, Norway, Belgium and Romania. They were both long time partners of the sending organisation as well as new contacts thanks to the students' initiative.
25 of the students participating in the 2015 CHS project attend the specialisation "Höhere Lehranstalt für wirtschaftliche Berufe", i. e. business administration and have a solid education in business, foreign languages, tourism and management. Three participants specialising in fashion design did their four-week internship in a fashion institute in Milan, respectively in a tailoring company in Bucharest. Their education at CHS includes collection development and computer graphics.
In the course of the project the 28 participating students developed knowledge, skills and competences that qualify them for the following professions: restaurant management assistant and dressmaker.
All professional experiences gathered during the mobility activities were assessed, validated and accredited in the interchange between participants, receiving organisations and CHS. Therefore we applied the following ECVET documents: Learning Agreement, Memorandum of Understanding and Personal Transcript. Furthermore, the Europass Mobility document was issued for all 28 participants.
As a secondary vocational school in the heart of the Alps-Adriatic region and located in the boarder area between Slovenia, Italy and Austria, CHS Villach is aiming at combining the theoretical and practical education of our students with professional training in a broader European context. CHS puts great emphasis on an education towards a sense of European citizenship and identity. The project "CHS all around Europe" aimed at creating a network across different sectors - private, institutional/professional (schools and enterprises) and intercultural. The mobility activities of our students were clearly characterised through their orientation towards precise learning outcomes in the students' respective specialisations (see above) and most of all the sustainability of their results. Hereby "CHS all around Europe" wanted to spark the students' passion for Lifelong Learning.
