Higher education student and staff mobility project
Date du début: 1 juin 2014, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2015 PROJET  TERMINÉ 

The aim of these student and teacher training mobilities was to implement internship modules for seven Tertiary level students and training programmes for two members of staff. The student mobility was conducted over a three month period; its aim was the development of an internship module in foreign companies working in the international trade, marketing and advertising, hospitality and tourism sectors. The internships enabled the beneficiaries to apply the knowledge, competences and skills previously stipulated by the sending institution and the company and identified as relevant to the course and the company. The teacher training mobility included a visit to an English vocational training college to update the methodology and syllabus of the Tourist Accommodation course. In addition, it included visits to companies and the organization of the logistics of hosting an English company to deliver training in English. The hosting companies and countries involved in the student internship mobility were Poland, Italy and Finland; the hosting institutions for the teacher training were Bath College in Great Britain and Cdea in San Sebastián. The project has enjoyed great success at Cdea. All participants believe to have benefitted from the mobilities and to have improved their knowledge, competences and skills during the transnational activities. The students and teachers have been the best ambassadors for future ventures. All our institution’s quality indicators have been adapted for the new satisfaction report format model generated by MobilityTool. The indicators have been transferred to Cdea quality control documents audited by internal and external experts: “Quality indicators in initial training for internship students” and “Teaching training satisfaction”. The results are highly positive and our intention is to continue participating in similar ventures. We must bear in mind, however, that internship students do not always have the same profile especially in regards of their linguistic abilities. This can seriously restrict student participation in northern European companies which seek students with a solid command of English, especially in the Tourism area. This has obliged us to increase the number of subjects we deliver in English and represents a great challenge which will help us grow.
