PRÁCTICAS EN EMPRESAS DE EUROPA
Start date: Sep 1, 2015, End date: Aug 31, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

In a world within an increasingly demanding and competitive labour market, we see the need of giving our vocational training students the best possible preparation. Furthermore acceding to aids of this sort is essential for students with economic difficulties and thereby having few chances to develop their professional and linguistic abilities abroad. Our VET mobility project to carry out the training period (traineeship) in companies within the EU, in our case Malta and Italy, has provided a very fulfilling experience that has helped them to personally grow in an utterly globalized society and spreading so a bigger social European integration. Our project is part of the VET - vocational Education Training Learners- and has been meant to carry out training practice in companies from Malta and Ancona (Italy), (VET Traineeship). It entails four mobilities: 3 VET traineeship of the specialty of Administration and Financial Management and 1 of the Electricity branch. These students have done the second and final year of the cycle, VET level 2, they are over 18 and belong to a low income range of population. The objectives of the project have been: • Carrying out the practical period within the working centres of the module, obtaining the necessary knowledge and practice for the qualification. • Improving the professional and linguistic competence of the participants. • Helping the students to get the actual sense of European citizenship, encouraging the possibilities to live or work anywhere in Europe. • Encourage open-mindedness among youngsters • Widen their hiring possibilities within the current labour market, getting better formation linking academic knowledge to real work experience and widening their working scope to the rest of Europe. Our project has been carried out in collaboration with Edutravel and Habilidades Lingüísticas, which have been our intermediary partners for the mobilities of Administration in Malta and IIES VOLTERRA ELIA as an Italian VET school partner for the mobility of Electricity in Ancona (Italy) . The traineeship has taken place in companies from Malta and Ancona (Italy) for five weeks, carrying out tasks included in the Vocacional Educational and training curriculum for Technician in Electrical and Automatic Installations and Technician in Administrative Management. The results and impact of the project could be summed up as follows: • Our students, once the experience has been finished, have assumed a most international dimension to their working expectations, apart from an actual wider linguistic capability, as well as personal fulfillment, which definitely will result in wider chances within the labour market • They have obtained an official Vocational Training Qualification internationally validated at a European level • Besides it gives them the possibility to increase their chances to be employed abroad, entailing even the chance of company promotion internationally. • As for the Centre, it has provided us with an international projection, making more appealing the election of this school for youngsters and increasing so the number of Vocational Training students. Long term benefits should result in reduction of unemployment rates among the Spanish youth ( currently, within our four students, two of them are working in their field and the other two are studying higher Education), and increasing number of companies with international projection, higher level of collaboration between European companies of different countries, so that more globalization, higher level of competitiveness due to hiring better prepared workers, in terms of language command as well as in terms of personal fulfillment, with an internationally European perspective of the working expectations apart from higher working possibilities because of all the said above.
