"The project ""PROJECTION OF THE VET THROUGH EUROPEAN PROFESSIONAL INTERNSHIPS"" was created in response to the need for vocational schools to provide their students with the opportunity to expand and improve the quality of their practices in the workplace in European companies. The difficult employment situation in Spain, where youth unemployment exceeds 50%, makes it difficult for many young people to find their first job: mobility projects facilitate and expand the expectations of entering the labor market. The project, with a duration of 12 months, has been designed so that 74 students or recent graduates of middle grade from the professional families of administration, health, commerce and electrical and automatic installations, enjoy a one-month internship that has allowed, in the case of students, integrate it into their cycles of internships undertaken within the module “labor practices” (FCT). Workplace locations have been made in Italy, UK, Malta, France and Portugal. Also for 19 IES Teachers who have completed their training (Job Shadowing practices) and UK, Mala, Italy. The main objective of the project has been to allow participants to develop, through internships in European companies, skills that practically complete the skills acquired during their professional training. The main activities carried out by the project partners are: preparation of mobility, including the selection of participants, their initial evaluation, their previous training, logistical and contractual aspects and coordination; the stay and the start of the program in the companies. Mobility has also included cultural activities. Dissemination activities and mobility itself have had an impact at local, regional and national levels. Although not involved in the project, other organizations at the local, regional and labor levels have benefited from the results of the project: an improvement in the skills of young people. An increase in young employment rates. The possibility of contacting other European institutions to share their best practices. Improve the quality of education given in schools, decrease school dropout, expand their language skills and their ability to receive foreign students.

The project has also affected the partners, promoting the approach and cooperation between businesses and schools. Monitoring The evolution of the participants has been monitored by the means established in the project. Project evaluation. Dissemination. Dissemination skills have been planned throughout the project. The participants have been evaluated. The entire process has been certified with ECVET and has been clearly defined since an initial evaluation.

Pedagogically, the relationship between student, school, community and European Union became stronger.It is difficult to convince local partners that our students can perform not only easy, but also complex tasks, that they ""will not damage"" the equipment, machinery,etc. We believe, however, that we are able to “shake things up” (the beneficiaries of this project are already promoting the tasks performed in Portugal, and slowly we will make progress). All these changes for students will also leave marks on the work of our school in general and teachers in particular. Teachers have to prepare the curricula and improve teaching methods to match the expectations of students.This project has also contributed to the reputation of our school, the increased confidence of students, parents and the local community in techni"

Genç Murat Vocational and Technical Anatolian High School trains intermediate staff for the factories and small enterprises in the Organized Industrial Zone in the district of Genç and Bingöl Organized Industrial Zone. The accounting and finance reporting operations of these enterprises are done with computer-based package programs in the accounting and finance departments. The connections abroad and domestic suppliers of the factories make also same reporting operations. Therefore, the qualified intermediate staff is needed to be able to use these reporting applications. But our participants cannot benefit from these employment opportunities in the region as they don't receive the accounting and finance reporting training. The project is intended for the students studying in the branch of Computer-Aided Accounting in the department of Accounting and Finance in Bingöl-Genç Murat Vocational and Technical Anatolian High School. The students need to improve their knowledge and skills level in the computer-aided accounting and finance reporting, gain experience, learn the new methods and techniques in this context.

Businesses have to follow technological development closely, use the time well and canalize resources correctly if they want to manufacture in line with needs in global competitive environment, develop planned, effective and functional business management systems and ensure continuous development. Therefore, the business and transaction records in businesses must be accurate to ensure rapid data flow. Tasks of accountants that are perceived as only keeping books have become producing information and managing assets. According to Research for Household Information Technology Usage conducted by TUİK (Turkish Statistical Institute) in 2015, the rate of houses with internet access across Turkey has reached 69.5% in April 2015. The rate of computer and internet usage rate in our country is 54.8% and 55.9% by the individuals aged 16-74 respectively. This rate is 64% and 65.8% by men whereas it is 45.6% and 46.1% by women.
