The background of this project, is to work with partner organizations, who wish to see the same outcomes as ourselves; students to stay in education longer, gain confidence in their work environment, learn a new language, increase employability and mobility advancement in their chosen career. Many of the organizations we have worked with before, and have developed a positive working relationship, having received students from them on previous occasions and also reciprocal visits between the two.South Cheshire College sees the objectives of this project being our students becoming more culturally aware, in a world where cultural diversity is not contained to one country any more. Increased employability, with the work experience and some language knowledge being developed. For our students, as a whole, to gain confidence in themselves and their skills acquired during their vocational studies.Our project will engage 45 students from vocational subjects such as hospitality & catering, hair & beauty, automotive engineering, sport and I.T, who are second year students, with the maturity of taking on such a task, and representing South Cheshire College in a positive light. The students will need to show a passion for their subject, in their cover letter and express reasons why that they want to do this work placement abroad. There will only be 5 from each vocation areas chosen, so it will be a vigorous interview process to ensure we select the best students for the projects. Many of our partner organizations over the years have developed strong working relationships with local business'. Students shall take part in work placements for a duration of 3 weeks, not only learning and enhancing their mobilities, students will be encouraged to take in the local culture not only for educational, but also social purposes.We shall encourage staff participation, from the same vocational areas, with a view for staff to broaden their teaching horizons. Seeking staff who are wanting to step out of their teaching comfort zone, are willing to exchange new teaching techniques and methodology, and create bonds with fellow teaching staff from the partner organizations. Methods used in our project will include but not limited to:- Interviews to choose the appropriate students- Meetings, (via Skype, telephone or face to face), to select participants and placements.- Additional lessons to enhance cultural and foreign language awarenessWe hope the results will mean students come back more confident, and will pass on the experience to other students, who will also become interested in the project. South Cheshire College will create closer ties with schools in different parts of Europe, to hopefully expand on future projects associated with Erasmus+, thus we are able involve more students. On the other hand staff will benefit from new teaching techniques to engage students more.Our impact and long term benefits are:- To increase students confidence- Students create bonds in different countries, increasing cultural tolerance- Increased word of mouth about the opportunity to draw in more students.- Create great partnerships with schools- Students enhance their cultural and language diversity- Students to continue their education, add experiences to their CVs, and a language, which will broaden their employability aspects.- Word of mouth via social media to increase interest in future projects.
