PROJECT
FINISHED
The European mobilities are part of the projects of the School and they aim at continuing long life collaboration with our european catering partners and at making our young students more employable by developping their skills in the catering field. This project concerned students undergoing a three year course of B-Tech and students who obtained their diplomas less than a year before.
Activity 1 :
The students undergoing a European section course in English with their B-Tech were organised a mobility for their compulsory 8 week training period. More than their professionnal skills, this mobility developped their English and their autonomy, it opened their mind on other cultures and developped the awareness of their European citizenship. At the end of their experience, the students obtained a europass and passed their European grade and Mobility Exam.
Four sessions of mobility were organized for the students in their second and third year of B-tech in service and cooking: September 2014, March 2015, September 2015 and March 2016. Thanks to the European fundings, the regional fundings, the financial support of the families and the parners, 96 students, whatever their social background participated to the project which was highly formative and mentored.
In order to prapare them to the mobility, the students had a linguistic training with the DNL courses ( practical English applyed to their field of the catering industry) with the making of european culinary specialties and service in English, the visits to Jean-Monnet's House and the conferences of the « Maison de l'Europe » initiated them to the European citizenship, and the English courses introduced the cultural specificities of our European partners.
Since 2004, our catering partners which are high standards hotels situated in Scotland, Ireland and Estonia, welcome and train our students. Our local service providers, picked up the studetns at the airport and lead them to their different hotels. They were their referees abroad with their professionnal tutors. Teachers also went and met the different tutors to assess the students for their diplomas during their mobility experience.
100 % of the students concerned passed their B-Tech in 2015, with 80 % of European distinction and 84% at the Mobility exam. Moreover, six of them were offered a summer job. This project was largely disseminated on the school website, the local newspapers and the local administration.
Activity 2
It consists of a European mobility proposed five months to young graduates of careers in Hospitality holders of a CAP or Bac Bac Pro Techno. They are enrolled in a Local Initiative Complementary Training: Adaptation in the Hospitality Trades Europe and abroad.
Our participants are mostly from the Paris region and are drawn largely from modest backgrounds. They need financial and logistical support. Our goals are to predispose our participants adapt to rewarding personal and professional cultural situations. The goal is ultimately to promote their social and professional integration and to familiarize them with a training process throughout life.
Our project is supported by a strong network of hotel schools facilities. The network C.H.A.S. E
(Consortium of Hospitality and Accommodation Schools of Europe) now covers 19 hotel establishments located in 15 European countries: Germany, Belgium, Great Britain, Spain, Hungary, Italy, Finland, Ireland, Iceland, Latvia, Norway, Sweden and Turkey.
It is thanks to the network that the proposed mobility actions can materialize, the diversity of possible destinations is a real strength of attractiveness. To coordinate our actions and sustain our partnership, we organize an annual meeting where we define a thematic axis. These last two years, we chose: Health Awareness and Nutrition in the hotel sector in Europe.
The mobilities were held for a period of 5 months. The first 4 weeks, the trainee followed a preparation to prepare him for his probationary period. During the next four months, the trainees were placed in hotels, monitoring trainees being provided jointly by the original school, the host school and the internship tutor. During these 2 years 36 students performed brilliantly mobility (except 2 who returned during mobility).
