TRANSFERT DE COMPETENCES AUTOMOBILES
Start date: Jul 1, 2014, End date: Jun 30, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The aim of the project entitled "Transfert de Competences Automobiles" is to help and encourage our students to have a professional experience abroad in a European country and so, to allow them to speak a foreign language and to discover new methods of work as well as another culture, to have a better autonomy at work as well as in their private life. The project consits of sending our 6 students to Spain to do their training period in a car workshop in Plasencia in the country of Extremadura" for 4 weeks. These four weeks training period is one of the six other compulsory training periods included in their curriculum for their exam (called BAC PRO car mechanic which lasts 3 years). Six students chosen for this project are in year 2 (in "1ère" class). It takes place in june 2015. The other students from the class have their training period at the same time but in France. The six chosen students are between 16 and 19 and come from low social classes most of the time and have never had the oportunity to go away from home to discover other cultures. nor to be confronted with a different professional environnement. During this training period, the students accomplish the tasks inherent to their curriculum They do the common repair partly on their own or with the help of another car mechanic from the workshop. They also accomplish easy diagnosis on their own or more complicated ones but with the help of professional mechanics. As a result, the students have to communicate with the wole Spanish Staff and customers. The students have been given as it was demanded. This file will allow a permanent communication between the local workshop and the school where the students come from. In other words, this will allow us to follow the improvements both in the professional as well as in the linguistics skills of our trainees. Twice a week, the teacher will visit the students at the workshops. A convention for lodging has also be done between our school and the host. Visits during the week-ends have been organised by both the French and the Spanish teachers. French teachers will be with the students during these visits. In conclusion. Such a different professional experience was very rich for our students from "BAC PRO" because it has allowed them to discover different techniques and have enriched their skills in car mechanics. It has also been of great value for them as it has made them face new situations and as such, has made them developped better autonomy and adaptability. This, of course, will be of great value for them when they seek employment in the future. Besides, the practice of a foreign language is a great advantage for our students and will help them to get a job in the Bordeaux local car mechanics employment market. Needless to say the importance of this project for our students (and future citizens) in the current European job market.
