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 nine 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 training mobility aimed to update teaching methods especially in the delivery of the ?Business and Entrepreneurial Initiative? module. The new methodology is based on the Co-creation and Living Lab methods applied with such success in Finland and seeks to change approaches to the delivery of the module. The companies and hosting countries involved in the student internship mobility were Poland, Portugal, Malta, the Czech Republic and Finland; the hosting institutions for the teacher training mobilities were the Helsinki and Porvoo campuses of the Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciences in Finland. The project has enjoyed great success at Cebanc. 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 Cebanc 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 business and marketing areas. This has obliged us to increase the number of subjects we deliver in English and represents a great challenge which will help us grow.
