Higher education student and staff mobility project
Start date: Jun 1, 2014, End date: May 31, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The aim of participation of the Higher Technical School, Prague 1, in the 2014 call was the development of cooperation with other foreign schools and companies involved in medical branches taught at our school. Our cooperative activities focus mainly on practical and educational workplaces in EU countries where internship participants may obtain new experience and knowledge in their field of expertise, acquire new skills, learn about new materials, technologies, work in a multicultural environment and test the level and quality of their own education and work procedures. During an internship, teachers as well have the opportunity to present forms and levels of professional education in our country and search incentives to continually enhance the educational process and their own professional growth, of which the students eventually gain profit. Our priority for this period was an increase in the number of students participating in an internship in a foreign enterprise and to send teachers to gain experience in new workplaces with a perspective of providing an internship to our students. We also aimed at inviting foreign professionals to teach at our school and to mediate the latest findings and knowledge right in our home institution to students as well as teachers who are not capable of venturing on an internship themselves. We also launched cooperation with an intermediary organisation in Malta that enabled two students and two fresh graduates of the Certified Pharmaceutical Technician branch to take part in a two-month internship in a pharmacy in Malta. Furthermore, we cooperate with Spanish I.E.S. Luis Buňuel where two teachers in the branch of Laboratory Technician shadowed and also negotiated internship for students in the forthcoming academic year. Another teacher gained practical teaching experience in the field of Certified Dental Technician at IPIA Correnti in Italy. We welcomed the total of three teachers from abroad at our school – two specialists from an Italian dental laboratory and the head of laboratory technician professional training at a Münster university clinic, Germany. Owing to an allocated grant, we have succeeded in enhancing the scope of our partners with whom we can conclude future cooperation; and we have won new places for our students‘ internships. We were pleased to see a growing number of students willing to participate in the Erasmus project despite the fact that they have to travel during their summer holiday as the internship takes place in three- to four-week chunks. We continue in a relentless search of new work places for our students of other professional branches with English as the working language.
