                         Project participants:
3K-AKTIV Kompetenz, Kommunikation & Konfliktprävention e.V., The IBD-Partnership / UK, Europe PARAGON Ltd. for Malta and the Dudley College in region of Birmingham / UK.
3K-Aktiv lead and supported the administrative and organizational aspects of the project. Furthermore, we have implemented and gone through with our partners abroad the evaluation and public relations. The tasks of our foreign partners were essentially in searching suitable placements and providing appropriate internships abroad. Furthermore they supported our participants on location to guarantee a smooth flow.
Participants:
4 VET-instructors and 20 trainees from the fields of hotel / catering and travel, tourism and leisure and other commercial professions.
Requirements and needs:
In particular, workers and trainees from the fields of hotel / catering and travel, tourism and leisure need increasingly foreign language skills, intercultural skills and a particularly high degree of adaptability for their daily interaction with guests. This applies equally to commercial staff in international companies. From both of the perspective of the companies that are active in international markets, as well as for the professional perspective of the trainees, the need arises to acquire these skills.
Objectives:
Learners used and deepened their professional knowledge during their stay abroad. Furthermore, they increased their social and international expertise. In a pre-agreed contract between the partners the working areas will be set; Eg. participants were used in hotel trades in the "Reception / Front Office" and in commercial occupations in the "Shopping / Sales or Export". After training, the learners became more flexible by their increased mobility readiness, so that their career prospects have improved. In addition, participants learned more about the current and historical culture of the country.
Results:
Each participant has completed a 5 days or 2-4 week stay abroad and thereby improved personal and professional skills. These include the elimination of language barriers through improved language skills, a greater cultural understanding, an in-depth knowledge as well as an increase in personal self-consciousness. Overall, thereby the personal job situation for the trainees and professionals improves.
More results:
All participants have received the Europass; Reports of the participating students; Project report; Publication of project results through information flyers, website and events of the association 3K-AKTIV.
