The project "Gaining Experience and Skills in EU" is planned for four groups of students. It will be realized in cooperation of SŠSSaD Liberec with two partners from Germany and one from UK. Due to very good experience from previous projects our partners are Kreishandwerkerschaft Oderland from Frankfurt (O) and Berufvsförgerungswerk E.V. des Bauindustrie verbandes Berlin - Brandenburg. The former organization is a representative of craft guilds. It is a voluntary organization uniting associations, representatives of larger firms, craft businesses and entrepreneurs. The second mentioned organization is an umbrella organization of educational centers of the construction industry of Berlin and Brandenburg. There has been a long-time mutually beneficial cooperation between SŠSSaD and both German partners. The cooperation with the British organization Europa Training (UK) Ltd started during the preparatory visit in Plymouth in January 2012. It resulted in a three-week internship of 15 students in autumn 2012 in Plymouth. During the stay of our students in Plymouth the conditions of our future cooperation were discussed. The study branches, the content, the length and the programme of this project has been discussed and planned in cooperation with all three partners. The first placement of seven students of the three-year branch of Carpenter will be realized in autumn (September - October) 2014 at the educational center UAZ Frankfurt (O). The students, together with the German apprentices from the training center, will get familiar with and learn how to implement new technologies and materials. During the whole stay the group will be supervised and monitored by a teacher from SŠ SSaD. The teacher will also organize free-time activities for the students. During the second run, which will be realized in spring (March - April) 2015, seven students of three-year branches of Plumber, Joiner and Machine Mechanic will be individually attached to companies (members of the Chamber of Crafts) according to their profession. This should result in students´ learning to communicate in a foreign language (especially in the field of technical terminology) and improving their professional competence. During the whole stay the group will be supervised and monitored by a teacher from SŠ SSaD. The teacher will also be responsible for organizing students´ free-time activities. With the partner from Plymouth (UK) two runs were agreed upon. The first of them will be realized in autumn 2014 (November). Ten students of four-year technical branches of studies (Car electrician, Technical equipment of buildings, Mechanic - tool setter, Mechanic of installations in buildings) will be placed in businesses in Plymouth for three weeks, according to their branch of study. They will learn about and acquire the processes, technologies and the culture of work in the conditions of a developed European economy, improve their ability to communicate in English, especially in the field of professional terminology, and learn about the socio-cultural background of UK. The members of the staff of the intermediary organization will provide the students organizational help and they will monitor the stay. They will regularly contact the employers and host families and hold meetings with the students. The students will be supported by the accompanying teacher on their journey to Plymouth and back and in the first days of the stay. The second run to Plymouth will be realized in spring (April - May) 2015 for students of the four-year branch Operation and economy in transportation. The participants will spend three weeks working for businesses focusing on transportation and learn about their activities, deepen their knowledge and skills in the field, learn about the culture of work in terms of advanced European economies, deepen their ability to communicate in English, especially in the field of technical terminology and get familiar with the socio-cultural environment of Great Britain. During the internship they will in contact with the personnel of the intermediary organization that will provide pupils with organizational assistance and monitor the internship. Pupils will be accompanied by a theacher from SŠSSaD on their journey to Plymouth and back who will monitor the first and the last days of their visit.
