Kis- és középvállalatok működtetésének európai rendszere
Start date: Jun 1, 2014, End date: May 31, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The project will be implemented by KLIK 306004 Károlyi Mihály Bilingual Vocational School of Economics, Budapest and Kent School of English, Broadstairs, UK and its local partners. The aim of the project is to provide students both studying in years 9 to 12 (that is before their final examinations) and taking part in higher vocational training the opportunity to get acquainted with the European system of running small and medium size enterprises (SMEs) in Great Britain, and as a result gain insight into the business practices of a developed EU member country, and after graduation be able to use their experience in their career. It is important that our students apply and strengthen their academic knowledge acquired in the classroom in practice as well. To underline this goal, the evaluation of the students' internship achievements issued by the recipient institution are taken into consideration in the course of the assessment of the their academic performance (ECVET). A possible solution to the high rate of unemployment among young graduates can be establishing their own enterprises, and we expect that the acquired experience could even trigger the entrepreneurial spirit in them in the long term. An additional goal is that they apply their already existing knowledge and the skills enhanced in the course of the preparatory week in practice and in a foreign language environment. Our project also aims at fostering the students' language skills for professional purposes, which they can directly utilise at the forthcoming school leaving examination and language examinations. Participation in our project can also contribute to a more successful performance in higher education. Participants of the project will be selected from those 9th-12th grade students who specialise in commerce-marketing, business administration and economics, but have not completed their secondary education yet, as well as from the higher education vocational courses for finance-accountancy also provided by our school. Those students specialising in commerce-marketing will be definitely placed to businesses working in the field of commerce, while in the case of the other two groups the nature of the business of their work experience place is not so relevant, as they will be focusing on the financial and accounting procedures and practices of the enterprises, which are more or less the same at most SMEs. Besides the above mentioned goals, we also hope to enhance mobility in our students and in the future they will be more confident in terms of choosing other EU countries as their place of study or work. It is part of the expected results that our students share their experience with their peers, and as a consequence encourage them to take part in similar projects in the future. The implementation of the project is planned in three stages. The preparatory phase, that is contracting with the partners, tendering and selecting the students, preparation, organisation, choosing the work experience places, will be carried out between 1st June-4th October 2014. Mobility will take place between 5th October-2nd November 2014 in Broadstairs including one week of business English language preparatory course and three weeks of work experience. The evaluation and dissemination of the project (sharing results, exchanging experience, financial report) is scheduled between 3rd November 2014 and 31st May 2015.
