The project „ With Erasmus+ for the success – internships in Austria and Germany as the key to self-development”, is destined for students of IT and commerce specialties in Zespół Szkół in Radomyśl Wielki. It is a continuation of the international cooperation established by our institution last year. Richer in experience that we have gained during the project “Professional IT specialists and commerce technicians – internships in Austrian enterprises as a chance to open the door to Europe” (agreement number: 2015-1-PL01-KA102-014743) we not only want to sustain cooperation with our previous partner, but also expand it into another country of the European Union. Partners with rich experience in organizing internships will take part in our project. These are: Bildungsberatung&Schülervermittlungsagentur” from Austria, Corinthian and Institut für europäische Bildungsprogramme “Infeba” from Germany, Hamburg. A group of 16 students (8 IT technician specialty and 8 commerce technician specialty) who would meet requirements worked out by a school board, will participate in a four-week internship in IT and commerce companies in Austria and Germany. The project’s objective is to improve student’s vocational competence under supervision of IT and Commerce workers. It will prepare them for the requirements of regional and European labour markets The internship will allow students to gain valuable professional experience in new environments. It will help to enhance the quality and productivity of tasks performed by the interns in the future, which will translate to increased opportunities in the international labour market. Highlights of the project include improving language skills, exposure to the culture and traditions of Austria, and offering students the chance to establish new connections. The project aims to increase competitiveness of Zespół Szkół. It will contribute to a better attitude of the local community towards Zespół Szkół and increase attractiveness of the course of education offered. Zespół Szkół will prepare students to the trip through language, cultural and pedagogical trainings. The school will also organize the trip and insure students not only against the risk connected with their participation in the internship but also during the whole trip. Receiving institutions will organize accommodations, meals, and provide mentoring support during the internship.Within the framework of our project the ECVET system will be used. This will allow the transfer and recognition of learning outcomes and accepting them by our school. The internship in Austria and Germany will increase IT technicians’ theoretical knowledge and their practical skills concerning assembly and fault diagnosis of computer devices, operating system configuration and assembly. As well as configuration of local network devices and elements. Apart from that, students will learn how to create and manage database systems as well as design and manage applications and websites.Commerce technicians, on the other hand, will be prepared to start working on a middle-level management in companies and carry out basic commerce functions in retail outlets, wholesales and warehouses. They will also be taught how to organize, set up and manage their own trade company.To promote it, a plan for dissemination of results and good practice will be fulfilled after the end of the internship. During conferences and meetings with schoolmates, parents, representatives of the Governing Authority and local authorities, the interns will present a mini-guide including the most important information and a Polish-German professional dictionary that will be useful for future interns. They will also show leaflets and brochures promoting internships as well as the movie about their stay in Austria and work for Austrian companies. The promoter together with the receiving institution will assess the correctness of activities and tasks performed by the interns by direct supervision of the internship.Participation in the international internship will make young people aware of the need to raise their professional qualification and understand the importance of continued education. The partner institution will gain and broaden its experience in working with young people and coordinating European projects. It will also gain a new partner to cooperate with in the future. Thanks to the internship, students will strengthen their sense of belonging to the European Union. The interns will meet new people and become more self-confident, open-minded and independent. The project responds to the need of increasing mobility of young people, and adapts to the needs and requirements of the European Union. It supports professional and social activation of young people and promotes foreign language learning as an essential part of vocational training and personal development.
