The project "International Work Experience Basic Commercial Course Students at Campus Vejle" is primarily for students, who attend the 2nd year of the Basic commercial course at Campus Vejle. This is a branch of a vocational youth education, which typically qualifies for an apprentice position in the commercial field.We would like to send 16 students to 2 different countries in 2017 and 16 students in 2018. We apply for grants for 32 students in total. Furthermore, we apply for grants for 4 accompanying teachers. The teachers will be at the destination during the first week of the students' work experience.The objectives of the project are:- to give the students knowledge about the work culture in other countries- to increase the students' chances of getting a job - both in Denmark and in other European countries- to strenghten the students' personal development in terms of self confidence and tolerance- to increase the knowledge of the job market and the educational system in England and Ireland for teachers, employees and students at Campus VejleThe students will receive linguistic and cultural preparation before the work placement and the students will evaluate the work experience programme afterwards together with their teacher. In addition to this the students will make a presentation for the other students.The work experience programme takes place in week 6, 7 and 8 and they will work full time within the retail business with relevant tasks.The project will strenghten our basic commercial students' skills and thereby increase their ability of getting an apprentice position. The fact that they have completed a work experience period abroad will give them an advantage when applying for a job. The project will also motivate students to complete part of their education through the PIU scheme.
