PROJECT
FINISHED
The increasing globalisation as well as the steadily continuing internationalisation in connection with a growing competition in the labour market lead to the conclusion that basic specific competences will not match these requirements any longer. Our mobility project aimed for an improved employability of our students and reflect the requirements of the labour market. Our students gained international experiences, inter-cultural competences, improved their foreign language skills, developed self-confidence on how to act on the international market and got aware of the importance of life-long learning, in order to adopt to current and future developments. The mobility project offered 45 participants (35 female and 10 male), 5 out of the number were teachers, the opportunity to benefit of the project from October 2014 till February 2016.
Beneficiaries were students in their first vocational education as social assistants, educators, business administrators as well as an accompanying teacher.
The flows were conducted with a varying number of participants twice a year in February and October. Due to the varying interest in the project a selection process took place prior each flow. Each group were accompanied by one or two teachers.
Beyond that, one teacher benefited of the Erasmus+ programme. She took part in a four week practice in English educational facilities. She took the opportunity to get familiar with the English structures and the approach, improved her abilities and skills and transferred these into here lessons in our school. Her foreign practice stay contributed to her individual development as well as to the further internationalisation of education in our school.
Matching practice facilities for the participants were selected and organized by Work Placements UK following an analysis of demand. Thus they got familiar with the English labour market and acquired adequate specific professional skills and key competences, such as inter-cultural understanding, language skills, the ability to observe and analyse as well as the ability to reflect their own personality based on the human appreciation. Specific tasks, rights and obligations of both parties were documented in a Memorandum of Understanding. Furthermore, goals were fixed in a learning agreement prior departure and evaluated in the Euro-pass. It was intended to use methods and instruments of cooperation such as ECVET as well as the quality instruments elaborated within the innovational project "Q-Mobil" in combination with EQR and DQR.
Participants in the mobility project acquired competences and specific knowledge as well as the conviction to improve their abilities and skills steadily. Our students were prepared to get ready for the demand of professional abilities and skills in the field of service and to close gaps regarding their own competences. This contained the task to follow developments of their working environment and involve innovative solutions into it. Internal and external experiences were shared and presented at congresses, conferences and exhibitions. Thus, our participants, future participants and practice partners benefited of the project. Furthermore, the generalized evaluation of the acquired experiences have become a part of the improvement of the strategy of internationalisation of our facility and influences the realisation of other projects, in order to match the challenges and requirements of the labour market.
