Start date: Aug 21, 2014, End date: Aug 20, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

"Work Away" is a two year long project involving four of the Federation of Upper Secondary Schools in the County of Jämtland's vocational programmes; the Business and Administration programme, Handicrafts programme, Hotel and Tourism programme, and the Restaurand management and Food programme, along with our partners; the vocational training organization Europa Training UK Ltd in Plymouth, UK, and the two hotels Europäischer Hof and Salzburger Hof in Bad Gastein, Austria. The purpose of the project is to provide the participating students' with an increased ability to offer good customer service, improved language skills, increased competency within their field of work, increased employability and personal development and thus meet their needs before their entry into the labour market. Their vocational training with our partners will give them experience within the field of their studies that will benefit both themselves and the related industry. In the long run the experience of the students will benefit the region through increased competency within the work force. From a shorter perspective their experience will benefit their vocational training and studies during their time in school. Europa Training UK Ltd will during these two years provide vocational training for 20 students for three week periods and 20 students for five week periods. Hotel Europäischer Hof och Hotel Salzburger Hof will provide vocational training for eight students each for five week periods, all three as part of their education and vocational training. To ensure high quality training each period of vocational training is preceded by a review of the assessment plan and the aims of the project. After the training the assessment plan is returned to the school where the teachers assess the learning outcomes and whether the students have reached the objectives. The mobility is validated through "Europass" and certificates from the school and partners. The result will disseminated through the internet, local press, informational meetings, theme days and through the JGY company network of vocational training.
