The project aims to improve the quality of practical training of students and graduates of the Secondary School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering and Higher Professional School in Liberec through internships abroad. The project will strive to provide participants the opportunity to get certified professional practice abroad and expand their language skills. The project responds to the requirements of employers who expect from graduates of schools not only sufficient amount of expertise, but also sufficiently long practice and good knowledge of a foreign language. Internships are designed for students of third years of secondary school and for graduates of fourth years of secondary school and third year of higher professional school in all fields of study. Internships will take place in the field of engineering, electrical engineering IT, multimedia and computer design. All internships will be four weeks long and will take place in the period June-July 2015. Placements for students will be attended by 20 people, including 8 in the UK, 7 in Ireland and 5 in Germany. There will be an accompanying person with each run for the first two weeks of the internship. Placements for graduates will be attended by 20 people, including 12 in the UK and Ireland 8. The project will take 12 months and will start in October 2014. Before leaving for the internship, participants will attend courses in English / German, cultural, vocational and practical training. Internships will take place in small and medium-sized companies in the field of technical administration, technical and technological production, construction, maintenance and servicing, programming of CNC machines, measurement, quality control, work with office applications, computer graphics, web design, CAD systems, electricity production and distribution, testing, inspection and maintenance technique, programming of industrial machines, robots and computers, creation and administration of computer networks, etc. The project aims to improve the professional practice of students and broaden their scope of practice for graduates. Internships allow participants to apply their knowledge in practice and gain new expertise, skills and competencies. Participants will increase their mobility and flexibility participant´s position, obtain work habits, become familiar with organization of work in foreign companies, to improve the level foreign language as well as develop their personality. Internships will improve the participant´s position in the labor market. In the project, we also want to verify the possibility of using ECVET and in collaboration with partners to create units of learning that we could use in other projects in future. The sending organization wants to establish long-term cooperation with foreign partners to transfer knowledge from abroad and use it in education We also want to increase the interest in studying at the school and strengthen the prestige of the school. The results of the project will be primarily immaterial, because the project is focused on the professional development of the participants. Foreign practices will help develop professional and personal potential of participants and their profile will approach to labor market requirements. Participants will make progress in the field of vocational and language competences and will strengthen their intercultural skills. They will develo the personality as well. Tangible outcomes will include participant´s certificates, photos from internships and articles on the internet and in print media. The project will have an impact on the level of practical training of participants. Thanks practice and received certificates, participants will have a better position to enter the labor market. The sending organization will develop cooperation with foreign partners, will get suggestions to modernize teaching and how to make learning closer to the labor market´s needs. Project will enhance public awareness of the school, increase its prestige, and interest in studying engineering. In the longer term, due to the projected growth of interest in studying, we will be able to offer employers a greater number of technically skilled workers. At the moment there starts to be labor market shortage of technically educated workers in our country.
