Start date: Jun 1, 2014, End date: Sep 30, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The objective of the project is to send vocational students and teachers to complete practical work and training in companies of Germany and United Kingdom. The students will develop professional skills that are highly valued by national and European employers, therefore students will be equipped with a larger skill set to compete in the job market, consequently, providing the students with better employability and improving the studetnts education quality by improving teachers training. For one of the students, we count with the support of the german peer institutions is, without any doubt, guarantee of quality in the development of mobilities: - They have helped us in the selection of the host member considering the professional profile. - They have contributed to the beneficiary's efficient immersion in the culture of the country by selecting host families and by organizing cultural activities, - We have also hosted students from our partner school in Germany. That also increases the cultural relation since there is collaboration among the two countries involved. For the other of the student, the company Training Vision Ltd, which organises and manages work experience and educational programmes for students, has helped us in the same aspects in United Kingdom. Due to the following arguments: - All the mobilities have taken place according to what had been pre-established. - Fulfillment of the main objective, which is the integral training of our students. - And analysis of the surveys of the beneficiary students and teachers. We evaluate the project very highly and we consider it has been very beneficial for the students, for the teacher and even for the institution. STEPS TAKEN OF STUDENTS: FIRST: Host city: Portsmouth (United Kingdom) Dates: From 1st April to 30th June of 2015. Overall 1 mobility (1 boy of Administration and Finance Vocational Course). SECOND: Host city: Munich (Germany) Dates: From 7th April to 6th July of 2015. Overall 1 mobility (1 girl of Administration and Finance Vocational Course). All of them have done a three months-training in a company from Monday to Friday. All the participants have taken one or two language and culture courses and have received some preparation and help before travelling. They have attended an activity developed by The Regional Service of Employment, " Employment in Spain and in Europe" and an activity called "Oportunities in Europe for young people" developed by INJUVE, as planned. STEPS TAKEN OF TEACHERS: THIRD: Host city: Brighton (United Kingdom) Dates: From 2nd April to 4th June of 2015. Overall 1 mobility (1 teacher of vocational training courses of Electricity), for training in a company. ACHIEVED RESULTS: The students have improved their linguistic skills of the language spoken in the host country (English and German). English was the language used to communicate with the family, flatmates and in the company too. We have also widened their professional competences, of students and teachers, through the acquisition of new ways of organizing work and they have acquired new technological knowledge. For the students, the level of achievement depends on each particular case, the same as it happens in Spain when the student does the training in a company/enterprise. It also depends on the productive moment of the company. In that case, we could evaluate the process as of a medium-high level for both sides. With respect to the personal competences (intercultural and maturity) of the beneficiaries, we are completely satisfied. The students and the teacher were perfectly adapted to the host families and the working environment. At all times, students have shown responsibility and reliability, as it is expected from any flexible and tolerant person. Many of them claim this to have been an unforgettable experience and would like to go back to the host country. For the students, the validation of skills was made as follows: - Training hours in the different companies as part of the module have been computed. - The document Europass Mobility has been facilitated. - The companies have been asked for an additional certification in English about the professional competences acquired by the student. - Our centre has issued certificates about the linguistic and cultural skills acquired by the student. For the teacher, our institution has facilitated his participation in this program, and acknowledged the work done by him.
