Development of methods and skills for intercultural communication in Business and Management
Start date: Nov 1, 2016, End date: Oct 31, 2018 PROJECT  FINISHED 

A total number of 40 beneficiaries of the ´Vocational School Centre Weiden´ will be given the chance of taking part in a deepening 2-year training especially in the fields of economy and language promotion. Due to the close cooperation between the ´European Vocational School Weiden´ and regional companies as well as the ´Vocational School Centre Wiesau´, training supervisors of those are also invited to join this advanced training.The priority objective of this training is the expansion of professional expertise in the fields of economics and trade linked with the consolidation of language skills in English. Topics that cover the economic, social and linguistic development in the English-speaking world and the interaction with consulted experts determine the training. Appropriate background knowledge combined with corresponding English vocabulary shall both help to set a European standard in the training and encourage the participants to develop bi-national teaching units in order to support the growing number of trainees of other European countries to successfully cope with their professional situation.In accordance with our vocational school´s focus on economic as well as information and telecommunication, basic programming - which is crucial in the economic everyday life - is intended to be addressed to some extent. Those comprise e. g. generating data files for offers, statistical analyses or programmed guidelines for accountancy.The central theme of the courses, which are prepared for classroom use, is on imparting economic and political expertise on Great Britain. The programme will be completed with course units that focus on developing the skills that are needed for routine business in office, administration and trade. The required teaching modules are geared to the needs of the school´s particular direction of study and its curricular content.Furthermore, the project aims – with growing experience - at fostering the spread and the establishment of the culture of mobility within learners, training companies, experts of the vocational education, professional and other trade associations in the local and regional environment of the vocational school. Generating growing acceptance amongst all those actors is a precondition for the programme´s success, which will be addressed comprehensively.The course agenda is to be supplemented by an interesting cultural programme.The first mobility flow to London is scheduled for the end of 2016. The continuation with potentially revised content according to the first experiences with the advanced training will follow by the end of May 2018 at the latest.
