Stretching skills and bilingualism through internships
Start date: Oct 15, 2016, End date: Oct 14, 2017 PROJECT  FINISHED 

“Stretching skills and bilingualism through internships” is a mobility Project to United Kingdom intended for VET students of “Technician in Microcomputer Systems and Networks” of IES Francisco de Goya located in Molina de Segura (Spain) to carry out an internship to work in a company during 3 months. These studies belong to the occupational category of Information Technology and they are taught both in English and Spanish.The main goal of the Project is to wrap these bilingual studies up by offering a professional internship in UK to maximise their English level and their professional skills. That is why UK has been chosen as destination, because English is essential in a more and more globalised world and it is the language of Information Technology since the most part of the documentation is written in this language. With regards to professional skills, UK is a pioneering model of the main quality IT methodologies on the European level (ITIL, SSADM...) and, besides, it is the European general headquarters of many of the world cutting-edge companies (together with Ireland). Therefore, it is the ideal location to absorb the best professional practices and innovations in the field of Information Technology.Other aims pursued by the project are to improve the employability level reduced by the crisis, which will be achieved with the inclusion of this added value, the quality professional skills acquired, the possibility of build up a professional career in UK or the discovery of an unexplored market niche in the local sphere. In addition to this, the immersion in methodical working habits inherent to the Anglo-Saxon culture stuck to quality processes. Finally, it is a very enriching experience both personally and professionally, improving social skills.All this will result in a better preparation of the participants at a professional level, a personal and bilingual development, and with regards to IES Francisco de Goya, it will benefit from the knowledge of the British IT industry for the preparation of students, new participants, development of the training program, dissemination to IT local & regional industry, more attractive training, etc.
