Objective
An increasing number of post-16 students undertake work experience placements in another member state as part of their academic or vocational education. Yet there is a lack of training provision for teachers who organise theses programmes and for employees who provide the student's placement. Also, there is little evidence of how students are prepared for this experience, or helped to transfer and re-apply the skills learnt to their on-going personal and career development. This project will therefore develop:
- accredited distance learning programmes for teachers who organise European work experience;
- curriculum resource materials which help prepare students for their work placement;
- guidance materials for companies who take on students;
- and a data-base of quality work placements.
The approach will involve conducting a survey into existing practice in each partner region amongst schools, colleges and employers. From this data, a number of organisations with experience and expertise in this field will be identified, in order to develop case studies of good practice.
Impact
It is anticipated that the project will have a significant impact on work experience management and accreditation structures in Europe.
