EUROVOCATION´15
Start date: Sep 1, 2015, End date: Aug 31, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The large majority of the students that are graduated from a vocational training course have the challenge of finding a job. This challenge creates them uncertainty and confusion, because they don’t know where to find it. This situation is more difficult if they want to find a job in a foreign country. Differences in labour legislation and social security of the European countries are a common obstacle. Moreover, our academic institution is concerned with corporate social responsibility in business and therefore tries to instill in students values that will contribute, through its work in enterprises, actively and voluntarily to social, economic and environmental improvement. For this reason, our academic institution raises a transversal project to all professional families that includes several aspects of finding a job within the European Union, differences in labor legislation, social security and values that enable our students increase their chances of finding a job. A project will be created through the platform eTwinning with the following title: Welcome to Europe, are you looking for job? This project will address the different aspects mentioned of the following form: - Create a reference point where all aspects of job search in any country in Europe are collected. The main points in this part of the project are: a list of companies where students can direct their job applications, guidelines for the development and creation of the Europass CV, methods to deal with different types of job interviews, both in their mother tongue and in other languages. There tasks developed are: information and documentation, creation of web space, search and make a list of companies, conducting Europass CV, collecting information on job interviews and simulation and, finally, the presentation of these results. These tasks are intended to provide students with the tools and necessary information to conduct a successful first job search and encourage their employment in the partner countries of the project. - To highlight the differences and similarities of the legislation on labor and social security matters between the two partner countries. This is an important issue of concern to workers when considering a European mobility for employment purposes. We will create different teams that will be made up of students from several European academic institutions and they should exchange information regarding contracts, trading systems, payslips, wage and non-wage concepts and payment of contributions. Conducting training practices in Germany will reveal the aspects worked and transmit them to other students as the key part of the project. Teachers will explain the project and its goals in two introductory sessions. Several groups are made by members of all participating schools and we schedule the activities, including videoconferencing. Finally, the project findings will be published in eTwinning. The eTwinning project will culminate with students performing the FCT (workplace training). These students will be a link between the two institutions. Their experiences will be transmitted to other students using IT skills or by talks on return. The aim of the results of this project has 5 main goals: - Increase the number of students in vocational training courses. - Improving the quality of vocational training courses. - Improving the International Cooperation and the sense of belonging to the European Union. - Encourage students to continue their studies with other vocational training courses (CFGS). In addition, we will promote the increase of employment opportunities with elements such as mobility, the use of Europass CV or increasing language skills.
