The lycée Jean Monnet, lycée des métiers du bâtiment (construction and built environment) is situated in the suburbs close to Paris, accessible by metro. The lycée is opened to 600 young people who receive both initial and adult training skills french qualifications CAP (certificat d'aptitude professionnelle) up to plus 4 years training after the leaving certificate. The lycée's specific project is to develop European mobility for pupils and to fight against absenteeism and the dropping out of pupils from the school system. The lycée aims at developing employment competence among those in training and to improve their language fluency. Since 2012 our lycée has developed its school project around Europe. A partnership created in June 2013 with the Maison de l'Europe of Paris and the Region Ile de France (Paris region) made it possible that several staff members and a group of pupils were informed and trained as regard Europe and its actions. In follow up to this European section was inaugurated in September 2013 in the domain of administration management. The form teacher specialized in this area is also qualified to teach through English (discipline non linguistique). In october 2014 125 students of the lycée Jean Monnet took part in workshops about Europe throuh the EUROPE MOBILE project organised by the Maison de l'Europe des Yvelines. in december 2015 40 students became ambassadors of the parliament throuh the project The Principle, the school Accountant, and the form teacher responsible for the project along with the school librarian have all been trained to organize European projects by the agency 2e2f and the Centre Ressources Europe. The mobility session was over 4 weeks and it concerned 10 pupils in the European section preparing their leaving certificate in administration management. Five of the ten were be under 18 when the four weeks planned trip came about. They are French of foreign origins (8), all of the pupils come from low-income, socially deprived backgrounds. These young people have often very poor self esteem, they lack confidence and rarely dare to be ambitious. This work experience project reinforces our objectives to help them develop their professional skills by associating their capacity to adapt their new environment, develop autonomy and team work while at the same time giving them opportunity to practice and improve on their communication skills in English. The pupils involved in the project have been accepted on the basis of their motivation and personal input at each phase and not on their language ability. Ten students have carried out a 4 weeks work placement in a company in Dublin, Ireland : 8 of them in may 2015, 2 others in march april 2016. They stayed with family nearby. The week before the work placement they attended an 15 hours intensive English course in the Delphin School in Dublin. The CEI Centre d'échanges internationaux, is the partner organism which structures the placement in Ireland and the homestay accommodation and transport on site. We are working continually with the CEI on each step of this project. Follow up of the pupils in their place of work was carried out jointly by both the CEI and the form teacher. The teacher was present for the first 5 days of the placement and the last 5 days. Particular attention and follow up is imperative as six of the ten students were under 18 : the first 5 days to oversee the pupils arrival and details related to settling in and the last 5 days to conclude with evaluations meetings and tie up any last minute details. Constant communication has been upholden over the four weeks through new technology as well as contact numbers and constant networking. Preparing this work experience placement is two fold : educational and communication. Educational preparing the pupils to work in their professional field and communication working on their oral and postural expression through a drama course and professional English skills. The educational team assures a clear framework and follow up on this project for mobility in Europe. A working group has been formed and meets regularly. The families have been associated and accompanied to implement this action plan at its best. The European certification tools : CV, Language Passport, Europass mobility certification were delivered after the placement in Ireland. A specific certification associated with the European section is delivered on a national level. We have already noticed that the professional insertion is better for our students after they have carried out a mobility : they easily found a work placement in november 2015. The success rate of the "diplôme intermédiaire" (BEP MSA) in june 2015 was 77.7% as it was 60% for the rest of the students. Most of the students will follow further education after the baccalauréat.
