Eötvös József Foundation School is planning the eleventh Leonardo, Erasmus+ project with the same partner institution. Having completed the current second project the school will have sent 262 students to take part in a work placement in the United Kingdom.Eötvös József Foundation School provides post-secondary vocational education and training in the fields of tourism and finance. Due to the characteristics of the training the school considers building international relations a strategic factor. The main form of international relations is 3-month-long work placements abroad.The students of the school have the opportunity to spend their work placement in the United Kingdom, Switzerland and Germany. 108 students attend Eötvös József Foundation School and 80 of them study Tourism. 70% of those who study Tourism spend their work experience abroad. Internationalisation is an everyday practice in our institution, which requires extra effort from the management and the teachers as well. Most of our students come from a poor financial background since most parts of Békés County are considered disadvantaged areas. Providing opportunity for students with a poor financial background is in the centre of the vision of the institution. Work placements abroad unquestionably constitute an opportunity for students who did not continue their studies in higher education for different reasons.English 2000 School of English in Bournemouth has been the partner institution of the school in eight Leonardo projects and one Erasmus project so far. An excellent relationship has developed between the two partner institutions not only at a professional, but also at a personal level. The project has two phases: a one-week language and work preparation course conducted at English 2000 followed by a 12-week work placement at hotels in or near Bournemouth. The partner hotels are chosen by English 2000 on the basis of pre-agreed principles. Monitoring and mentoring are also provided by our partner institution. Keeping contact with English 2000, as well as with the appointed hotels and the students during the whole work placement period is crucial. The main purpose of the project is to gain work experience, to broaden the students’ professional knowledge in tourism and catering, to fulfil the work experience required by the syllabus, and to improve language skills. Other objectives are: getting to know other cultures, getting references for the future, and last but not least, cultivating the relationship between the partner institutions. Work experiences abroad are huge motivating factors for students. The main phases of the realization of the project: 1. Announcing and presenting the professional practice abroad to the students. 2. Recruiting the students. 3. Preparing the recruited students, providing additional training and help. The students attend language, professional and cultural courses at the school. 4. Organising the placement at different hotels with the help of the partner institution (appointing the hotels where the professional practice will take place, making all the travel and accommodation arrangements, taking out insurance, assigning the accompanying teacher). 5. A one-week language and work preparation course in England at English 2000. 6. A 12-week work experience at hotels mentored and tutored by English 2000. 7. Keeping contact with the partner, the appointed hotels and the students during the whole work placement period. 8.Continuous assessment and disseminating the results of the project. 9. Closing the project, writing a financial and a final report.Besides the development of professional skills and knowledge, by the end of the project the students will be able to work in a team, their work morale will be improved, and an aspiration for accurate work will be formed. Not only will they be more fluent in English, but they will also learn to respect the culture of other nations getting an insight into European culture. Undeniably, they are going to become more open and independent as well.The long term results of the project will be that Eötvös József Foundation School can make use of the experiences of the project in its teaching and educational work. Successful projects improve the image and the social capital of the school, the opportunity of spending the professional practice abroad appeals to future students at schooling. The project increases the competitiveness of the school.In the framework of this project the institution intends to send 20 students abroad in two groups.First group:15.10.2016- 14.01.2017.Second group: 03.06.2017.– 02.09.2017.The students are accompanied by a teacher who spends a week in the United Kingdom. During the first week the accompanying teacher’s responsibility is to help the students with any problem that may arise, to build relationships with the representatives of the placement providers
