Plan de mejora de calidad e internacionalización del IES Abastos (convocatoria 2016)
Start date: Jun 1, 2016, End date: May 31, 2018 PROJECT  FINISHED 

IES Abastos is a school delivering Vocational Training courses with a series of well-defined, determining features and requirements, laid out on a later granted KA102 project:-Implementation of dual system vocational training-Reduction of drop-out rates in vocational training for lower performance students-Improvement of the students' employability-Establishment of an international internship programme-Achievement of cultural and working awareness of neighbouring European countries in young citizens Our project is at work and our organization has chosen to deepen and extend the present course of action in view of the relevance and magnitude of the above mentioned aims. Also the degree of accomplishment of our targets at the onset of the project has encouraged us to initiate further actions and lay down a new project. A pool of hosting companies is now available for our students' mobilities thanks to a process of job-search activities prompted by the Erasmus+ team and carried out by the students concerned. It would be desirable that students of following years should also have access to international training periods which should certainly enhance the quality of their schooling and employability. Partnership with EU's schools and institutions has proved key when designing common solutions for common problems and agreeing on shared strategies and actions. As concerns this requirement, our partners are the most suitable for our targets:Solski Center Nova Gorica (Slovenia)CCG (Belgium)GTI Galway (Ireland)RBZ Steinburg (Germany)Participating teachers are highly motivated and concerned with improving learning quality and the students' employability. All of them are experienced and qualified for the implementation of in- company training and have a fluent command of English in teaching environments.The actions planned are the following:1.Survey on the implementation of the English-taught multilingual programme2.Interventions in drop-out students and absenteeism3.Study of vocational training for lower performance students, dual system training and in-company placements towards common strategies4.Search of companies for the students' placements5.Training of students for the creation of companies abroad6.Student's communicative training in foreign languages7.Elaboration of a final memorandum8.Dissemination and measurement of impactThe project will focus on two broad areas:-development of activities 1 to 4 aiming to innovate and improve teaching and learning quality, acquire greater impact strategies and establish contact with companies from other countries willing to host our students.-realization of the internship students' mobilities, aimed at improving their personal development and their employability level in a European context. A specific methodology has been designed in accordance with the courses of action defined in points 1 to 4 within the project's framework. Each action responds to a clearly defined process: activities oriented towards the gathering of information, candidate selection and management of the mobility process. Teachers collect the information, engage on a follow-up period in the partner school and establish contact with the companies. Back at home an analysis of the proposed solutions will be undertaken towards agreeing a set of conclusions of practical relevance. Students go through a period of cultural and linguistic training and get on their mobility under our supervision. Finally, their placement period is assessed by the Erasmus+ committee.For the 2016-2018 we will be applying for the following mobilities.-Teachers: 6-Students: 6 We aim to achieve a set of measurable targets through the implementation of the project:-Greater international projection of our school-Improvement of learning through new technologies and the use of English as a working language-Increase in our students' employability as a result of their insertion in an international context, an improvement of their communication capacities and their transfer to adult working life-Decrease in drop-out rates and absenteeism, especially in lower performance vocational students Such observations will get accounted for in documents and protocols of immediate application and which should prove their continuity in future years. That is the reason why we intend to establish collaboration schemes with Local Government institutions and foster the use of all available environments for the diffusion of the Erasmus+ project: the school's website, forums and social networks. The Erasmus+ project signifies a number of great benefits for our school, which should acquire higher international recognition. The teaching staff will no doubt obtain a wider vision of issues and the need for a common approach to solutions and students will see their motivation enhanced through real contact with the European context in a fuller and richer approach to their employability.
