CONTEXT OF THE PROJECT: The main objectives of the OPPORTUNITY Project were the followings: to improve the level of professional competence and skills of the students of the short cycles of Administrative Assistant and Hairdressing and Hair Cosmetics, as they carried out part of their Work Practice Module in the Gran Canaria Hotel and the Keith Graham Salon respectively. They also improved their capacity in technical and practical English, as well as their knowledge of Europe. Thus we equal the work opportunities of our students as European citizens in a very competitive work market, in spite of their socio-economic situation and living in an overseas territory. The teaching staff improved their management of European projects and their level of English. Working with colleagues in other countries gave them a more global vision of education. NUMBER AND PROFILE OF PARTICIPANTS: There was a student of Administrative Assistant who went to the Gran Canaria Hotel and two students of Hairdressing who went to the Keith Graham Salon. All were in their second year coinciding with the Work Practice Module. The student of Administrative Assistant was familiar with the following abilities: carrying out activities of administrative support in the workplace; accountancy, commercial, financial and taxes as well as customer service in both public and private companies, applying current regulations and quality protocol, assuring client satisfaction and acting in accordance with the regulations for the prevention of occupational hazards and environmental protection. The students of Hairdressing and Hair Cosmetics had knowledge of the following abilities: hair care and adornment, hand and foot care and masculine styling as well as commercial services and the sale of cosmetics, in accordance with quality protocol, prevention of occupational hazards and environmental protection. DESCRIPTION OF THE ACTIVITIES Before mobility: Before the programme started, the ERASMUS coordinator was in continuous contact with the receiving centres by video conference, email and messages in order to have everything prepared for the arrival of the students as well as constant monitoring of the evolution of the project and its participants, not only from the practical and logistical viewpoint but also from aspects of quality and management. Before mobility started, the students received training in our Centre concerning the principles of the Project and historical-cultural and linguistic aspects. During mobility: They carried out their Work Practice to master the abilities described in the profile above. This was accompanied by courses in English both general and specialized in technical aspects they worked with. They had cultural and other visits to companies related to the activities of each group. After mobility: The Centre was responsible for evaluating and academically recognizing the stay abroad, publicizing and evaluating the project and resolving problems. METHODOLOGY USED TO CARRY OUT THE PROJECT: Work Practice is eminently practical in nature, so the students were monitored during this period and during their language and cultural courses. During mobility, the practical work was monitored weekly through individual files in which they supplied the following information: description of activities carried out, guidance for progress, time necessary for completion, difficulties encountered in progress, observations and aspects to be improved. With this information we could monitor the fulfillment of objectives. At the end of year, the students were examined in B1 English level at the Official School of Languages for which we had been preparing them during the year. RESULTS AND IMPACT ATTAINED: As the Project advanced, participation in mobility projects was encouraged. In today’s globalized world, it is essential to have experience, improve the knowledge of foreign languages and develop professional skills to have more opportunities in the professional market. It also helped teachers to increase their professional abilities as they acquired experience dealing with companies with different working habits and in different languages. We obtained the following skills and attitudes common to the students of the two groups: team work, learning to listen, being participative and decisive, self-sufficient and responsible. We consider that it had an innovative impact on all the participants. At the same time, the students improved their language skills and their knowledge of Europe. The Centre had the opportunity of improving the quality of training. LONG TERM BENEFITS: Innovation in the Centre, improvement in the level of quality, knowledge of how another European country works, increase in the level of English of teachers and students and acquisition of experience in carrying out a European project.
