Project of foreign internships is prepared by Secondary Technical School in Mladá Boleslav as a sending organization in cooperation with foreign partners from the UK (The IBD Partnership) and Ireland (Career Training Internships). Project participants are the 3rd year students and graduates of the 4 th year of school studying engineering, transport, economy and business and information technology. Placements of 3rd year students will be held in April 2015 and will be 3 weeks long. 15 participants will go to England and 10 to Ireland. We will send one accompanying person for the first half of practice with each group. Placements of graduates will take place in the period June-July 2015. They will last 4 weeks and will be attended by 10 participants. All participants will go to England. Participants have from school a number of theoretical and practical knowledge of their field of study, which they will develop abroad and confront the practice. Internships will allow us to strengthen practical training of participants for which there is not sufficient space in the school. Participants will gain work experience, new professional skills and experience with life abroad. Their level of English will be improved too (in particular the ability to communicate fluently, professional and general vocabulary and comprehension). The project responds to the needs of employers in Mladá Boleslav and the surrounding area. Most of the companies are foreign-owned and come from the automotive industry and engineering. Employers require their employees have not only professional knowledge and experience, but also a good knowledge of a foreign language. Participants will gain life experience abroad, become more independent and learn to take care of themselves. Some participants also need to increase their self-confidence. The benefit will also be to become familiar with different lifestyle and culture of a foreign country. Participants will receive a certified practice abroad, increase their professional level and applicability in practice. The status of participants in the labor market will be improved and their labor mobility will be increased. For school it is significant that thanks to the project we will build and strengthen cooperation with foreign companies and organizations and we will raise interconnection between study and practice. Professional focus of internships will vary depending on the field of study of participants. The content of each internship will be tailored to the individual needs of participants. Before leaving for the internship, participants will be given the linguistic, cultural, professional and practical training. The results of the project will be in intangible and tangible form. The intangible form will be reflected in the level of knowledge, skills and competencies of participants. The tangible outputs will include the Europass Mobility, certificates from intermediary organizations and employers, photo documentation from workplace and leisure and media articles. The project will improve the practical training of students and graduates. Participants of the project will increase their labor mobility, their professional level and will complete qualifications in accordance with the needs of the labor market. Education at school will be reinforced with a European dimension. The project will bring us the possibility of cooperation with foreign partners. The project will enable the sharing of experience and exchange of information and will improve the quality and attractiveness of education. We expect that the project will create more interest of primary school leavers to study at our school. This will support the development of technical education. In the region there is highly developed automotive industry and engineering, while there is an insufficient number of qualified workforce with technical education. The project will contribute to solving this problem. From the European point of view the project is important for the development of mobility of the workforce, the development of foreign language skills and its contribution to the fight against unemployment of graduates.
