PRÁCTICAS DE FP EN EUROPA
Start date: Dec 1, 2014, End date: Nov 30, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The Sociedad Cooperativa Madrileña Teide-Hease, mainly dedicated to Higher and Intermediate Vocational Education and Training (VET), consists of three different state schools in Madrid. In 2015, the European Seal of Excellence incremented from 400+ to 500+ points due to our Management System. Every school curriculum includes a mandatory module within the induction training in work placements which take place entirely in companies. Thus, the main Project goal was to allow 9 students in Intermediate VET modules (Maintenance of Data-Processing Systems; Trading; Administrative Managing; Assistance to People in a Situation of Dependence; Auxiliary Care in Nursing; and Car Mechanics) to have the opportunity to perform the training activities in other European work placements. To do so, our entity contacted with 4 different partners in Germany, Italy and Czech Republic that had more than 10 years of experience in European programmes. Therefore, this school considered our students as priority in terms of participation in Erasmus+ in order to foster interculturality, cooperation, competences and to offer experience and integration into the labour market. On the other hand, to ensure the quality of our students? training in work placements, the school drew up a shortlist, in a fair and transparent way, of those qualified candidates by taking into account their academic merits and abilities. With the participation of our students in this programme, this proposal aimed to achieve the following results: ? Improving the quality and attractiveness of Vocational Education and Training. ? Increasing our students? international employment opportunities. ? Promoting the sense of initiative and the entrepreneurial spirit of our students. ? Strengthening linguistic and cultural skills. ? Making the European learning area and values a reality. ? Raising enterprise?s awareness of the importance of lifelong learning. Regarding the preparation of the practical and logistical matters (project management and students? preparation), we concluded to follow the following steps: 1. Before mobility: ? Our school came to a collaboration agreement with our partners. ? Both entities planned an individualised training programme in which appeared the different abilities students obtained during their mobility. ? Our school provided students with an insurance. ? Our entity was responsible for students? transportation. ? Our receiving partners were responsible for arranging accommodation, airport pick-up service and organising students? welcome week during the first week. 2. During mobility: ? Our school and our partners kept a smoothly flowing communication that allowed a constant exchange of opinions among the school tutor, the students and the school tutor of the hosting organisation by telephone, e-mail, Facetime, Skype, etc. ? The sending student uploaded a file weekly in which appeared all the activities done by the student and signed by the student?s tutor in the receiving company. The project consisted of 7 phases: a) Pre-preparation stage (January-March 2014) b) Communication stage at all the members of the school community (June-September 2014) c) Selection stage (October-December 2014) d) Preparation stage (January-March 2015) e) Training stage in European countries (April-June 2015) f) Assessment stage (April-July 2015) g) Dissemination of results stage (April-September 2015) 3. After mobility: ? Once training in work placements was completed, the receiving organisation sent a certificate in which was assessed our student?s development in the company. ? Once the student?s tutor received the documentation provided by the hosting organisation, he/she assessed the activities carried out by the student in the work placement according to the assessment tool Europass. ? The dissemination of the results of the actions undertaken within the project was published in different resources such as our school?s website (www.teideformacion.com), blog (www.elblogdeteidehease.com) and social networks. Moreover, our school organized orientation talks, released press statements (in newspapers, on television, on radio, etc.) and used the institutional advertising (posters, leaflets, outdoor advertising, etc.).
