Odborné praxe v Anglii a Irsku
Start date: Jun 1, 2015, End date: May 31, 2017 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The project will help to increase the quality of practical training of students. Students will pass their mandatory practice abroad and learn about the real working life. Foreign experience perfectly fits into the concept of preparation of our students because of their focus on international trade and multimedia. Experience abroad is irreplaceable for them. Thanks to stay abroad, participants will receive a new experience, knowledge and skills that they will later use in their future study, at work and in their private lives. Participants will try out independent living abroad, get to know their strengths and weaknesses, improve their English and job mobility. Implementation of the project responds to labor market requirements too. Nowadays employers expect from our graduates not only professional knowledge but also good practice and a very good level of English. The project aims to improve the quality of professional practice of students. Work experience abroad will help participants in further studies. It will improve their future employability. The project will contribute to the development of professional knowledge, skills and competencies of participants, to progress in English and will increase their labor mobility. The aim of the project is also gaining working habits and personal development of participants. Internships will allow participants to become familiar with new cultural and economic environment and to gain life experiences. For the school, it is important, that our project meets our goal to be an open educational institution that cooperates with foreign partners, draws inspiration from them and provides modern European education, which is practice oriented. Project is created for students of Business Academy in the 2nd and 3rd year of study who are specialized on international trade or multimedia communication. The training program will be an integral part of their compulsory professional practice. Internships will be four weeks long. Internships will be attended by 20 students, 12 in the UK (one group will go to Birmingham and another group to Portsmouth) and Ireland 8 and 3 accompanying persons (one in with each group). Before leaving for an internship, participants will undergo preparatory courses at school. Participants will work in small and medium-sized companies and organizations in the areas of trade, foreign trade, administration, marketing, PR and IT and multimedia. Accommodation will be provided in host families. Detailed work program of internships will be set individually for each participant according to his/her specialization, needs and preferences.
