Europe: emploi, mobilité, des jeunes comblés!
Start date: Jul 1, 2014, End date: Jun 30, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Any form of placement abroad is a source of personal enrichment and contributes to the personal growth of individuals. The earlier the ability to be mobile is developed by a student, the more fruitful it will be. Thus the policy of our institution is crucial in providing that taste for mobility. In addition, in order to avoid unemployment or any inequalities in their future, we must offer our youth the opportunity to get professional integration at a European level and provide them with additional assets thanks to these placements abroad, right from high school. There are 15 participants committed to this project; they are engaged into a professional career for either a short or medium term. From BTEC National courses, sales, commerce and fashion, they will be soon part of the workforce. To set up this project, we would work as a team throughout the school year. The different steps to complete the project are scheduled from September to June. Meeting with the teaching and management teams in order to ratify the selection criteria. Meeting with the different players (parents, students, teaching and management team) to present the terms of the stay. Preparatory work of students under the supervision of the teachers ( Cv’s, cover letters, web quests on the host country, multifunctional dictionary, role-plays). First contacts with our partners in order to organize placements in accordance with the training goals of the participants. Logistics are then provided for transportation, accommodation and cultural visits in order to offer a more pleasant stay and experience. To meet the aims of the specific training in vocational courses, we need to focus on many aspects: Educational aspect: this training period working with a company from a different European Union country will allow them to get a "European section" distinction in accordance with the objectives of the diploma. Professional aspect: this “European distinction” will help our students when transitioning into the workforce. Indeed, companies are increasingly looking for employees who have had an experience abroad and able to respond to professional mobility. Thus they will have had experience adapting to different ways of working with foreign European companies. Cultural and human aspect: the mere fact that students have accepted to leave, to integrate both on professional and relational levels, is evidence of an open mind and open spirit. This is essential for young people hoping to live and work in Europe. The immersion in real life, sharing activities and exchanges in their daily lives will provide them with an enriching experience and personal growth. Placements abroad are one of the essential means for young people to develop their knowledge as well as their professional, linguistic, and cultural skills. It develops a sense of European identity, as well as being based on practical experience and closely connected to the business world. Finally, this experience of placement abroad matches new economic constraints and will allow them to better professionally adapt in a broader geographical context.
