Erich-Bracher-Schule - international vocational training II
Start date: Feb 1, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2017 PROJECT  FINISHED 

EBSivtII is a continuation of our program: Erich-Bracher-Schule international vocational training. EBSivtI had put its focus exclusively on apprentices for wholesale and industries. This focus is going to be expanded with EBSvitII. The addressees for our successful project of intercultural qualification in vocational education is going to be expanded on further professional groups, namely warehouse and retail, because many training companies are extremely interested in this project.We are planning 2 flows with ten, later fifteen participants. The apprentices are all in their first or second year of training and all have profound knowledge in operating procedures. In a course of three workshops we prepare our apprentices on a professional, linguistic and intercultural level. Ectarc is in charge of the stay abroad in Llangollen / Wales. The group is going to start with a language course which leads into a three-week industrial placement (organized by ectarc). The companies are chosen according to the apprentices´ training. In the context of quality management and supervision one or two teachers visit the participants during their stay. As a matter of fact the teachers gain insight in operative processes. As part of a debriefing, the participants have to prepare a presentation, which will be held in front of training supervisors, further participants (of the next flow), parents, students - for example on an open day at our school. In the end all performances (from the stay abroad, presentation) will be incorporated in one grade ( a so-called project.competence grade) valid for the comming school year. All participants will get a certificate of our school, containing information about the contents of the program as well as the "Europass-Mobilität". Our targets are an expansion of the students´personal competence as well as an opening of our school towards more professional competence, a better cooperation between school and companies and furthermore a more interesting education when involving experiences abroad.In addition we particularly stated a higher demand of further education for our staff. We would like to improve the quality of our education by creating authentic situations for speaking and acting, which are more possible in a company abroad. Therefore a group of six teachers is going to visit an upgrade training course with ectarc. Besides expanding their linguistic skills these teachers also gain insight into operational processes. All these findings have to be passed on to all other English teachers at our school and we strongly believe in an improvement of the occupational education. Another important aspect is that Erich-Bracher-Schule would like to implement internationalization more - and also more reasonably - into its profile. That is the reason why we are looking for suitable educational facilities abroad in order to learn from them. We are also looking for a good and trustful partnership to establish enriching projects in our entire school. We are sure that in the long run all participants can profit from this. The quality of teacher as well as students can be increased.
