The duration of these internships depends on the students' study focus and varies between four and twelve weeks. Students participating in these internships will leave for their placements between 1 June and 30 September 2016. The businesses hosting these interns are located in the UK, Italy, Malta, Germany, Norway, Sweden and Spain. They are both long time partners of CHS as well as new contacts thanks to the students' own initiative. 26 of the students participating in the current CHS project attend the "Höhere Lehranstalt für wirtschaftliche Berufe", with a focus on business administration and have a solid education in business, foreign languages, tourism and management. Four participants specializing in fashion design do their four-week internship in a fashion institute in Milan. Their education at CHS includes development of a fashion collection and computer graphics.In the course of the project, the 30 participating students will develop knowledge, skills and competences that qualify them for the following professions: restaurant management assistant, dressmaker and office manager.All professional experiences gained during these internships are assessed, validated and accredited in the exchange the between participants, host businesses and CHS. Therefore, we apply the following ECVET documents: Learning Agreement, Memorandum of Understanding and Personal Transcript. Furthermore, the Europass Mobility document will be issued for all 30 participants.As a secondary vocational school in the heart of the Alps-Adriatic region and located in the border area between Slovenia, Italy and Austria, CHS Villach is aiming to combine the theoretical and practical education of our students at CHS 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 International 2016" aims to create a network across different sectors - private, institutional/professional (schools and enterprises) and intercultural. The internships that our students take part in are clearly characterized through their orientation towards precise learning goals and outcomes in the students' respective area of study (see above) and most of all the sustainability of their results. Hereby "CHS International 2016" wants to spark the students' passion for Lifelong Learning.
