GETTING READY FOR THE LABOUR MARKET
Start date: Jul 1, 2014, End date: Jun 30, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

GETTING READY FOR THE LABOUR MARKET is born out of a need in our school and society to both, improve our pupils´competences and skills to make them more modern and competitive and to link our teaching and methodology to the demands of the businesses related to the professional family of our VET course, which is based on Sport Studies. In fact, it is commonplace in VET curricula in Spain to have weak links with the labour market, especially in Melilla, which although being Spanish, is placed in the northern coast of Morocco, and has more than 50% of young unemployment. Most of our students come from unprivileged immigrant background and are at risk of social exclusion due to socioeconomic reasons. This proyect is also meant as an opportunity for them to have a different future to the one their own families had. We expect to learn how to give more flexibility and adaptability to our curricula and contents after our participation. Our mobility project for students and teachers is clearly focused on the learning of skills and competences necessary for a better qualification becoming more attractive to the labour market. Of course this has implied a complete involvement of the management body in our school and teachers at all levels, who will have to learn to update their teaching methods so as to contribute to the improvement of the future of our students. In order to make this proyect work, two Italian intermediate entreprises with business links in the world of Sport (that have been contacted through a previous Leonardo da Vincci associationa) together with a College in Birmingham teaching the same VET course and innovative teaching and learning methods have joined in. Student mobilities will take place as integral part of their didactic programmes corresponding to the in-job-training modules in Italy and United Kingdom while teachers will have training periods in the form of job shadowing /observation in the counterpart Sport Studies course in England.
