Une première expérience professionnelle en Europe
Start date: Jun 1, 2014, End date: May 31, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The lycée Colbert is a vocational school which educates 300 students each year in Services and Sales. The students often come from families in financial, social or cultural difficulties. The certificates that we prepare the students for are the “Baccalaureat Professionnel” (level IV certificate – 3-year course) and the “Certificat d’aptitude professionnelle” (level V certificate – 2-year course). The projects objectives were to promote professional mobility, develop professional skills, improve fluency in English and Spanish and increase European cultural openess by this first experience of internship abroad. The establishment has been developing European mobility projects for the students for many years and many members of the staff(the managers and the lecturers) were involved in organizing the project each year. The 2014 project was based on a project management which integrated regularly meetings of the steering committee. In 2015, we have taken the project in a new direction: students from new subjects will be involved (Commerce and Sales), a new destination, Spain, had been chosen and students were more involved in project management. Our mobility project for 2014 involved 35 students who were preparing a professional degree Baccalauréat professionnel; (level IV) in our vocational school : - 10 students in Commerce (2nd year of a 3-year course), - 9 students in Sales (2nd year of a 3-year course), - 11 students Management and Administration (final year) and - 5 students in “Reception and Customer Relations: (final year). - 3 lecturers in Ireland - 3 lecturers in Spain. Miss Sanchez had a double mobility in Spain. She brought the students from Paris to Estepona and She evaluated the students and brought them back in France at the end of the journey.Miss Batel took part twice in the mobility project: one in Ireland and one in Spain. Students were selected based on motivation, seriousness and merit. Any financial difficulties that the families were in were noted in order that we could help them as much as possible. Activities. -Before the internship in Dublin or Estepona, students prepared their stay with the help of their teachers according to their training reference. -Students travelled to Dublin in Ireland to conduct an internship for a period of four weeks from18th January to 14th February 2015 ( Management Administration; and ;Reception and Customer Relations; or Estepona in Spain to conduct an internship for a period of 23 days from 11thJune to 4thJuly 2015 (Commerce; and Sales students) . -During this period, students were staying with host families and were followed by a service partner, Who were CEI in Ireland and Miss Neto in Spain. They were chosen by our vocational school with specific objectives. - Two teachers were accompanying the students, some of whom are minors, at the beginning of the stay to implement the internship and in order to assist them in the discovery of the country . Two other teachers were coming from France at the end of the stay to conduct the internship evaluation. This internship counted for the continuous evaluation of the examination of students and enabled them to obtain a european reference when they passed their Baccalaureate (“Reception and Customer Relations; and “Management and Administration” Baccalaureate). All students got a Europass. The students in GA and ARCU passed a new certificate EUROMOBIPRO from le SIEC. Each student passed the unite facultative de mobilité.These results are a positive aspect for passing the baccalaureat.32 students out of 35 passed their baccalaureat in Juin 2015 and in June 2016. 8 students out of 11 passed the European mention with their Baccalaureat. Long terms expected effects on participants : - Develop perspectives with regard to international internships. - Increase levels of success in exams - Develop access to further education - Develop employability related to key skills and aptitudes developed during the project (autonomy, adaptability, openness to European culture,…) Our lycee has been developping its attractiveness with an increasing rate of students who studying in BTS.
