Verdal Upper Secondary School has for many years offered parts of the vocational education abroad. This due to the school’s values and wish to be considered a school that focuses on internationalisation. The school has through partnership projects as “Gjør det” and Leonardo gained competence within internationalisation, and all our four vocational programmes have exchange programs with other countries. Through these programs, we have gained a big network of partners in other countries, to which we send our students. In addition, students and apprentices from our partners abroad come to Norway to work for the partners in our area. The business and companies in the area appreciate the exchange and they clearly see how they benefit from these exchange programs. This we can see in the way they positively accept exchange students and apprentices to work for them while they are here. There are 16 students from the second year vocational programme Service and Communication, 32 students from the second year vocational programmes Child- and care worker, and Health care workers that will be able to join this project. In addition to the students, several teachers will get the chance to participate to achieve knowledge and competence through these programs. Due to this, our teachers get a high reputation within the cooperating companies that offer our students apprenticeships. The main aim for this project is that our students through the exchange in a foreign country get a chance to practice their vocation for 2-3 weeks and through this develop both their professional and personal skills and qualities. Interaction, such as social happenings and cultural exchanges with students and apprentices in the foreign countries will contribute to this. In this project, the students work with competence aims from the curriculum for apprentices. The practice and knowledge they get from working in a company in a foreign country, will be a part of their final assessment. The professional, linguistic, cultural and social development of competence are crucial in this project. The participants will acquire competence from planning and preparing for the exchange before the exchange, and evaluation during and after the embodiment. To get an overview whether the participants have increased their professional and personal competence will be tested and clarified both before and after the exchange, through tests and evaluations. Today’s development in working life shows the importance of such projects to satisfy the need for multilingual and multicultural workers, in including working environments in every company in the years to come.
