A European section was created in our school in 2009 and is available to students studying for their Professional Baccalaureate exam in Business and Supply chain management.Following the success of the project in Bristol and Liverpool we have decided to repeat the project in Liverpool.In 2013 two students travelled to Liverpool for the first time to carry out a work placement in the hardware store WILKO. The objectives for the student's work placements were clearly outlined with the company WILKO beforehand and the project was very successful. In fact the staff at WILKO were so impressed with the placement that they offered to have students the following year but this time to welcome them in the three WILKO outlets situated in and around Liverpool. For 2014 our project was awarded funding for 10 grants and 10 students were subsequently sent for their work placement in the three WILKO stores in Liverpool as agreed. Yet once again the work placements ran smoothly with excellent feedback causing the managers in the WILKO to ask for more students the next year and thus prompting the idea of creating a possible partnership with WILKO in the future.The work placement project LIVERPOOL 2016-2018 aims at sending 20 students from our establishment over the two year period, 10 students in 2016 and 10 in 2017. The students involved in the project will be studying their final year of the Professional Baccalaureate in business and marketing and Professional Baccalaureate in Logistics/ supply chain management. The reason we have decided to choose students studying in their final year is because they will have acquired a certain level of maturity and meet the age requirements for a work placement in the UK. The choice of candidates for the project is based primarily on their motivation.The week preceding the student's work placement is devoted to helping the students settle into their environment and is called an induction week. The intermediary organisation SWOP handles this week by preparing students in the following areas:- Using the public transport network- Learning about the partner company- Raising cultural awareness- Adapting to the workplace in the UK- Using role plays to prepare for work situations- Visiting places of local interest- Adapting to new local food through cookery lessons.- Learning about the history of Liverpool via museum trips- Preparing and presenting a group oral presentationDue to the intensive linguistic nature of this training week the preparation cannot be carried out in France.The running of this project will be based on the european development plan already in place within our school and the participation of the school governing body, the teachers and the students. This school project is expected to receive recognition on a regional and local level. Students attending the European section classes are becoming more and more aware of its advantages. The European professional baccalaureate is an asset for students wishing to continue their studies or work in Europe by obtaining the Europass. In terms of long term objectives we intend to build a partnership with the UK based company WILKO in view of finding potential job positions for students wishing to work in the UK after their diploma.
