O CARBALLIÑO EN EUROPA
Start date: Jul 1, 2014, End date: Jun 30, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

For two years, our institution despite its small size, has made internationalization of training and mobility practices a key objective. First we have focused on the family of Administrative and have extended to the rest of the Vocational Short Cycles in our Institution. Our main purpose is to promote a greater employability and acquisition of new skills that could not be acquired in our country by VET students. All of them develop basic and transversal skills, not only digital level (MOODLE learning platform, open educational resources, digital assessment methods, use of specific software for a professional family, SAP software,etc.) but also a linguistic level ( Improve language knowledge in the host country). We cannot forget that we began this project, because of the socioeconomic context of our institution. This is defined by high levels of unemployment, low income levels, high dropout rate and increasing rate of youth emigration. Our project is aimed to carry out Training Practices in the work place for VET students of VET Administrative Management, Electrical and Power Equipment, and Electromechanical and Vehicles. A graduate was sent to practices during the first quarter of 2015. The age of participants is from 19 to 29 years. Traineeships are part of the curriculum, and the students must achieve the skills of each short cycle. and receive the Certification from the Companies, the Certification to achieve the title and Europass Form, contributing to a common qualification system. We intend tom to send students specifically to Portugal and Italy. We focus on Portugal because we believe that in recent years there have been an increasing presences of Galician companies in the North of Portugal, which we helped to create an economic and employable space between southern Galicia and Northern Portugal. Italy has a very attractive production environment, and we're increasing deepen collaboration with Italian partners. On the one hand the participants involved in the project are the IES Manuel Lamas and the company LOURINHO CONSERVAS DE CARNE LDA., VITOR & CARLOS TEIXEIRA 2 LDA, AUTOCARROZZERIA CAMPANILE FIGLI, SNC; . On the other hand are involved as intermediaries partners BRAGAMOB and The Italcamara. The project was intended for Vocational Training students who complete their traineeships in LOURINHO or in companies mention below searched for intermediaries partners. Practices are done from March 2015 to June 2015. They will last 10 weeks approximaely, (75 days) with 410 hours of training. We are going to do 5 mobilities. The graduate did his traineeship in Italy from February 2015 to May 2015. Our intention was to develop new ways of learning. All actions and contacts with partners and participants will have a MOODLE support, as our institution's virtual classroom and also the monitoring will be done using ICTs Platforms like mail, GOOGLE DRIVE, SKYPE, LINE, WHATSAPP … Within our objectives are to enforce employability, and to promote that VET students will be hired by companies, and also using mobility in order to develop, knowledge and skills that match with the needs of the labour market. So the graduate that made the mobility can apply new skills in their family business. We also intended to provide our students tools to deal with the situation of youth unemployment in Spain. This experience will make them mature as citizens, students and future workers. Our project is quantitatively small, so the diffusion and impact of it will be appropriate. Our institution wants to ensure quality training and attract tas much students as possible to the VET, in a crisis environment. We expect that companies in Galicia can benefit from students who did traineeships. We want that our students will be able to achieve maturity and competence to enable them even go to the entrepreneurship. We seek to increase the number of graduates who find work, although it is different for each professional group, up to 25% during the years of the project. Although the project lasts a year, we hope to have it continuously until 2020. The diffusion took place on the own website of our Institution. dhere were talks and chats with students who carried out traineeships and other students interested in, business associations and local authorities. We'll visit the local radio and local and Italian TV, and publicateD all in in the local press, summarized brochures, posters, etc. and we were on social networks like Facebook and YouTube.
