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

Our Project 2014-1-ES01-KA103-001028 (E MADRID342) fulfilled all the objectives for the Erasmus Charter for Higher Education and the agreement of the grant. The poject Erasmus + is included in the Annual General Programming of the Higher Institution, presented in front of the school staff, and School Council and is known by the Educational Community. To apply for the number of placements, we ask each department and we present the project in each group of 1st year students. This is possible because we are an institution with seven different higher vocational training cycles. We were given 9 practical work placements (SMP), 2 studying placements (SMS), 2 training placements (STT) and 1 teaching placement (STA) The STT placements consist of on-site training in European enterprises belonging to the sectors related to the studies we teach in our centre, with the aim of knowing the educational system and the professional requirements of the country. As well as to know the work environment and to learn from the work systems used in the destination country, to know the specific software used and to get in touch with the companies for a possible future practical training of our Erasmus + students. 2 STT placement were given, but 4 took place in the end. In the intermediate report it was reflected that the teaching placement (STA) could pass as a STT one and the Organization gave us a new help. Firstly, we were given 4 STT placements. The destination was the company Habilidades Lingüística s.r.l. in Malta. The experience was very positive for the 4 teachers who participated in the programme and surpassed their expectations.Placements SMP consist of the realization of three months of the FCT module within an European enterprise with the aims of completing their formation, assessing their already acquired knowledge in the educative centre, improving their linguistic competence and favouring their labour insertion, either in the country they are doing this periods of placement or in any other European country that that positively values the Erasmus experience, to implement their Europass curriculum vitae. To realize SMP placements the habitual procedure took place. Again the project was presented to each group of second course students ( who are the only ones who can ask for it); an evaluation on competence in English language was done through a written and oral test, in collaboration with the English Department. We compared the academic marks and we took into account student's maturity according to the teachers who knew them from the previous year. 9 students were pre- selected, and 17 were left in the waiting list. Of those students selected in first place, some of them abandonned the project due to different reasons, being one of them the family economic familiar situation and the unfordability of the cost of staying with just the help given by Erasmus.During the school year 2014- 2015 there were given 9 aids through Erasmus. Es from Ministerio de Educación, cultura y deporte. From these aids, 5 of them took place, four students gave up to the aid because of economic reasons, mainly. The beneficiary students were from the following cycles: 3 from Computer Systems Administartiom , 2 from Website Application Development, 2 from Nursery Education, 3 from Finace and Administartion, 1 from Kitchen Management and 3 from Travel Agents and Events Management.It should be pointed out that out of the 14 practice placements, 2 students entered the labour market in the country of destination: a student from Website Application Development, Alejandro Valés, whose destination was Berlin and got an indefinite permanet contract in the company Delivery Hero Holding GmbH and a student from Travel Agents and Events Management, Rebeca Sauras, in the enterprise BLUE SEA MALTA LIMITED; this enterprise offered two more jobs to 2 more students but they didn't accept them because of personal reasons. Regarding the 2 students placements (SMS), there were two applications from the cycle Information Guides and Tourist Attendance and they were conceded. One of the students went for the placement during the school year 2013-2014 to Ascoli- Piceno (Italy) through the aid Erasmus PAP. It was our first experience in SMS, in the destination centre I SALERNO03, Istituto Tecnico Superiore Tecnologie Innovative per i Beni e le Attività Culturali e il Turismo en Naples (Italy).Total number of placements of the proyect 2014-1-ES01-KA103-001028: 20 The project Erasmus + Higher Education is considered as very important in our Vocational High School María de Zayas y Sotomayor, it has the support of the directive board an dof all the educative community, it's of great interest among students, who are always asking about the grants given.
