HTL4Europe
Start date: Jun 1, 2014, End date: May 31, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

To succeed in today’s globalised society, students are required to possess a higher skill set than ever before. They need to be able to understand the complexities of international cooperation and similarly, understand business within an international context. The main aim of the international projects at the HTL Vöcklabruck is to provide students with the opportunity to experience the economic, political and cultural situations of other countries. The HTL Vöcklabruck started with the placement exchange program in 1998. Since then, more than 300 students have completed a work placement in Europe and the United States thanks to the program. The goal at the HTL4Europe project ist o afford students the chance to complete a multiweek internship abroad between their fourth and fifth year. In 201324 student were placed in internships through the HTL4Europe project and 35 participants are plced for 2014. The participants are students from the Mechanical Engineering, the Facility Management and the Industrial and and Business Engineering departments, as well as the departement oft he Technical College. The program has been made possible through partnerships with European schools and institutions in Sweden, France, Italy, Belgium and Germany, as well as partner companies in the Czech Republic, Spain, Slovakia, Great Britain. The result of such projects centres around the experiences the participant will gain in the course of their placement, which will go on to help them in their further training and future careers. They will have the opportunity to gain new practical and theoretical knowledge, improve their foreign language skills and work in a new environment and, in doing so, strengthen their social skills and personal competencies. The longterm valve oft he project like this comes from an increased competative advantage in domestic and international jobmarkets and an increased occupational flexibility and mobility in an international corporation.
