In the year 2015, in the framework of Erasmus +, the University Medical Center Freiburg had accomplished the " Learn & Live - Practical training in the UK " project. For the sixth time, a group of 6 trainees in the business and the medicine sector began in mid September 2015 – a 6-week stay in the UK (Wales). The University Medical Center Freiburg has over 11,000 employees and provides 21 different apprenticeship programs. Thanks to its previous projects that took place in 2010 to 2015 within the framework of the EU program Leonardo da Vinci and since 2014 with the Erasmus Plus, it had already acquired an extensive experience abroad. The possibility offered to trainees to acquire technical and language skills abroad has become a key feature in the vocational training program of the University Medical Center Freiburg and – thanks to its continuity – it gives a valuable contribution to the outstanding quality of education at the University Hospital Freiburg. The University Hospital had accomplished this 2015 project in collaboration with the European Centre for Training and Regional Cooperation in Llangollen. During the first two weeks, the trainees took part in an intensive language course in order to improve their English skills. Afterwards, the students spend four weeks and worked for a suitable partner company. During their internships, the trainees used their newly acquired or improved language skills and become familiar with the UK everyday professional life. Our partner organization took care of the whole organization of the trainees’ internships, as well as that of the language course. A staff member of the Human Resources Department at the University Hospital Freiburg was in charge of the preparation of the stays and of the follow-ups in Germany. The trainees’ stayed abroad gave them the opportunity to acquire various skills and was enriching not only for the trainees themselves, but also for their respective departments. Due to the increasing internationalization of the world of work and the increasing requirements that trainees need to meet, education methods need to be modern and forward-looking, especially as regards ways of improving language skills. For example, the medical assistant trainees increasingly have to deal – by phone or by mail – with foreign, English-speaking patients or employees. The project had started in February 2015 and first all trainees of the University Hospital Freiburg were informed by their instructor about this project. Additionally, an information meeting for all trainees taken place. Moreover, we are provided our partner organization with the CV’s and target agreements of all trainees, so that they were able to assign the work placements, and we will coordinate the accommodation of trainees in host families and discuss the content of the language course with our partner organization. We will prepared our trainees for their stay abroad and had took part in a cross-cultural workshop, as well as an English course in Freiburg, and by put them in contact with trainees who took part to last year's project. The University Medical Center Freiburg expects that, following this project, its students will be able to make use – in their respective departments – of their improved language skills and practical experiences acquired abroad. Our partner organizations’ final evaluation of the project was enable for us to identify potential for improvement and to optimize the collaboration in the future. Thus, we will ensure both of our project partners with the continuity of our project. As regards public relations, the results of the project had been published in the magazine of the hospital and in the regional press.
