Higher education student and staff mobility project
Start date: Jun 1, 2014, End date: Sep 30, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Our project aims at providing three students in our Environmental Health and Diet Professional Training Courses with an international mobility experience related to their academic profiles - mainly in analysis and chemical and microbiological quality standards control laboratories, as well as in those dealing with organic food. We have implemented this type of projects for several years and have work with some partners and host companies. Our students have developed their mobility programme in two German cities – Hannover and Skype- in summer time - July, August and September. The three beneficiary students had finished their college training in June 2015 and had been previously selected by taking into account their English and German language competence, their academic grades and their attitude to face this experience. We would like to point out that we have worked with experienced partners and teachers in The Justus Von Liebig Schule in Hannover and in Bbs Syke, Knut Hancker, who have generously supported us in preparing and monitoring our students’ mobility programme. The Environmental Health technicians have worked in Hannover Benecke-Kaliko AG Company, which manufactures technical automotive materials – technical plastics such as PUR and PVC, textiles and artificial leather. They have been assigned to the quality control laboratory ad have carried out physical, mechanical and chemical experiments to test the quality of those materials – view in detail in their Europass Mobility Form. The host company employees in charge – especially their tutor Ronald Freudeman – have positively assessed our students’ performance and they have actively involved in our students’ job search – in a recently settled company in Pamplona and in a Mexican firm. The Diet technician has worked in Syke, close to Bremen, in an organic food company with a restaurant. Her job was mainly to prepare menus, serve meals, collaborate in cleaning and maintenance tasks and help in the agricultural production. More details can be found in her Europass Mobility Form. To sum up, we could claim that our project aims at: 1. Providing intensive international mobility experience. 2. Spreading the need of mastering a second language. 3. Encouraging students to improve their training and promote their vocational careers. 4. Consolidating a wider network of partners which pursuits to promote students’ exchange programmes. Finally, we would like to highlight the positive perception that both host companies and partners share when evaluating students’ mobility programmes, technical training, attitudes and foreign language competence. We could state that this has been one of the highest rated projects in relation with our students’ mobility programmes, additional motivation and employment prospects.
