PRÁCTICAS Y FORMACIÓN EN EUROPA
Start date: Nov 1, 2014, End date: Oct 31, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

In a world within an increasingly demanding and competitive labour market, we see the need of giving our vocational training students the best possible preparation. Thus acceding to aids of this sort is essential for students with economic difficulties and thereby having few chances to develop their professional and linguistic abilities abroad. Our VET mobility project to carry out the training period (traineeship) in companies within the EU, in our case Italy, should provide a very fulfilling experience that will help them to personally grow in an utterly globalized society and spreading so a bigger social European integration. Our project is part of the VET - vocational Education Training Learners- and is meant to carry out training practice in Italian companies (VET Traineeship). It entails three mobility: 2 VET traineeship of the specialty of Administration and Financial Management and another one of the Electricity branch. These students are doing the second and final year of the cycle, they are usually over 18 and belong to a low income range of population. The objectives of the project are: • Carrying out the practical period within the working centres of the module, obtaining the necessary knowledge and and practice for the qualification • Improving the professional and linguistic competence of the participants • Helping the students to get the actual sense of European citizenship, encouraging the possibilities to live or work anywhere in Europe • Encourage open-mindedness among youngsters • Widen their hiring possibilities within the current labour market, getting better formation linking academic knowledge to real work experience and widening their working scope to the rest of Europe. Our project will be carried out in collaboration with the Italian Chamber of Commerce, which will be our intermediary partner. The training practice will take place in Italian companies for five weeks. The Italian Chamber of Commerce for Spain offers a wide range of services to us before, during and after the mobility, such as the company search, tutoring the student within the mobility, provide Italian tuition to our students, accommodation search, personal aid, solving problem, follow-up to the students after the mobility, etc…. The five weeks of the training period are validated as if those had been carried out in Spanish companies, and for this it is necessary to issue certain documents, such as the agreement between the VET school and the company, the curricular project, weekly file of the student, final report of the company tutor (Supplement of the Europass Certificate), learning agreement, high standards commitment from all the parts involved and a final report of a linguistic assessment. The results and impact of the project could be summed up as follows: • Our students, once the experience is finished, will have assumed a most international dimension to their working expectations, apart from an actual wider linguistic capability, as well as personal fulfillment, which definitely will result in wider chances within the labour market • They will be able to obtain an official Vocational Training Qualification internationally validated at a European level • Besides it gives them the possibility to increase their chances to be employed abroad, entailing even the chance of company promotion internationally. • As for the Centre, it provides us with an international projection, making more appealing the election of this school for youngsters and increasing so the number of Vocational Training students. Also it may help to increase the financial aid from various institutions as an investment in our students. • This should also result in an immediate improvement of our social environment because of providing the labour market with better quality training generally speaking, and therefore giving the companies hiring these students a wider international projection and so improving their competitiveness. Long term benefits should result in reduction of unemployment rates among the Spanish youth, and increasing number of companies with international projection, higher level of collaboration between European companies of different countries, so that more globalization, higher level of competitiveness due to hiring better prepared workers, in terms of language command as well as in terms of personal fulfillment, with an internationally European perspective of the working expectations apart from higher working possibilities because of all the said above.
