Vocational Educational Training in Europe
Start date: Sep 1, 2014, End date: Aug 31, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

We will improve vocational education for students at our school. It is important that students get convinced that their training has a great importance, not only in Sweden, but also throughout Europe. Students who take part in the project will, in addition to their upper secondary exam, get increased insight in how their work is carried out in another country. They will get a wider understanding of the world outside Sweden and they will develop skills in at least one foreign language. For our staff it is important to take part in the development which will take place at our school in future years to come. One example of this is the School development plan that we are processing. The project's objectives are that students in the Motor and Vehicle- and Healh- and Careprogrammes will get additional learning in the fields they have chosen. They will, among other things, have a better CV because of the project. They will enhance their chances at the labour market and they will develop cultural, social and language skills. There will be new and more possibilties for staff training i.e. internationalization and international project management. In the project they will learn from colleagues at the same insitutions that we use for our students. They will also learn more about EQF, ECVET and so on. By taking part in this project more staff at our school will be active in transnational cooperation and project collaboration at our school. We intend to send 12 students and 6 people staffmembers. This is a one year application and we will call those 18 partcipants "pilots". Already next year we think that more training programmes at the school will participate. Our students are from the Health- and Care programme (7) and the Motor Vehicle Programme (5). These "pilots" including the designated staff will stimulate the interest for increased internationalization at our school. For students the project is more than two or three weeks in another country; they will take part of the cycle of: interest - selection - preparation - carry out - follow up. Staff go through almost an identical cycle. The difference is that they will work more intensively with their colleagues at colleges. They will jobshadow, study lessons and discuss with partners. These could be discussions on curricula, using EQF and ECVET and methodologies in teaching. The results will be new experiences, insights and learning outcomes for students and staff. For our school, our school administration and municipality it means an attractive school environment that strives to be well known for its internationalization, its interest for development and its good study results. Inhabitants in Bollnäs will be proud for their upper secondary school's development.
