As one of the leading Further Education establishments in the country South Devon College (SDC) is ambitious for its learners to achieve their highest potential and whilst SDC has invested significantly in improving capacity for teach English and Maths already, it recognises that global literacy is not just about the skills of reading, writing and maths and wants to improve learners' ability to communicate effectively with a variety of audiences and their ability to interpret information and apply it appropriately to the situation or setting.SDC has therefore highlighted an important need to develop more internationally relevant curriculum and generate more cultural impact to better prepare our learners with International Employability Skills to be able to compete with learners from other nations and make a meaningful contribution to the global economy.The main activities within our Developing International Vocational Experience Project will be a flow of student mobilities for two weeks to our partner organisation in France, Cannes Cookery School including a programme of work placement activities. In addition one flow of staff mobilities to the partner school for work shadowing and curricula development for Catering/Hospitality teachers to broaden their knowledge and understanding to inprove outcomes for our learners.The main areas we wish to develop through this project are:- Our teaching methods and resources to improve skills in communication and critical thinking – recognised as key employability skills which enable people to apply skills to different contexts, solve problems, use their initiative and work independently;- Our methods of working with industry to better inform curriculum developments and respond to and anticipate sector skills needs;- Ensuring an international context and dimension is present throughout the learner journey at SDC;- To convert existing international relationships to partnerships with knowledge transfer and innovation outcomes for staff, and cultural experiences and work placements for learners;- To cement a network of international contacts from which to grow and generate sustainable international collaboration.SDC has a mission 'to inspire its community through learning for all' and has an entirely learner centric focus to enable every learner to achieve their best potential.The main objectives for the participants are to:- Support learners to develop their competences through the acquisition of skills and experience- Improve their personal development and employability in the European labour market- Develop their cultural awareness and improve social understanding of another country- Broaden horizons by breaking down perceived barriers that may limit learners aspiration- Provide further professional development opportunities for staff through work shadowing experiences- Improve progression levels to higher levels/Higher EducationThe expected impact on the participants is that 8 students will have undertaken a student mobility to our partners in France that would not have been possible without the support of the Erasmus+ project. Each individual through this enrichment programme will have developed a Europass CV recording the activities and achievements of their visit. Ultimately this will lead to improved confidence, aspirations and employment on completion of their course.Through the staff mobilities the impact will be that 3 staff will have improved and added to their personal and professional development this in turn will benefit their students through improved approaches and practices to communication and problem solving, improved employer engagement to inform curricula development and employment pathways. In addition the staff impact will be to develop the curricula, introduce new methods to make it relevant for employability in the international arena thus benefiting the employability and opportunities for their students in the short and long term. The improvement of attainment for students is a high priority for the UK government and by seeking to develop good practice from others we ultimately would see the desired impact to be to try and improve the OECD ranking of the UK in the long term through improvements to teaching methods.
