PROJECT
FINISHED
IES Francesc de Borja Moll is a secondary school located in Palma de Mallorca, just a few minutes outside the city center. We provide VET certificates in the areas of Health, Personal Image, Computer and Communications, Commerce and Trade, and Basic VET in Hairdressing and Beauty..
The labor market on the island of Mallorca is highly internationalized, so it is becoming more necessary to have skills in foreign languages, especially in English, to enter the job market well adapted. Good professional skills are also needed to adapt to this international market.
From the year 2001, our school has participated in international projects managed by the Consulate of Education of the Government of the Balearic Islands, and in 2012 we started to implement and manage our own projects.
The goal of our present project is that our students can take part in job training centers abroad, and that our teachers and team directors can make observational visits to other European education centers.
With these actions, we intend to gain the following results.
In reference to our students:
Improve their professional skills, working methods, products, techniques and processes in a different way than they commonly use.
Improve their proficiency in a foreign language, preferably in English.
Improve their personal autonomy and confidence in their own abilities and futures.
Contribute to the competitiveness of the participants in a highly internationalized job market.
With respect to teachers and members of the management team :
Introduce new methods, techniques and activities in the teaching-learning process.
Improve proficiency in English.
Introduce new organizational and management methods.
To undertake the project, we have two partners in Finland, two in the UK, one in Germany and one in Italy. All but our Italian partner, a hospital, are educational institutions of vocational training that collaborate with us in finding the most suitable companies for our students, while acting as host organizations for participating teachers in mobilities.
Ultimately, we aim to improve the quality of professional lessons we teach in our center, become a tradition the On the Job Training (OJT) in Europe, and form an active part of the process of European integration in which we are immersed. We also aim to improve the image of Vocational Education Training in our environment and to be a reference to local and European level in the participation and leadership of international projects.
