"“Tecnici in campo” implements the strategic plan for the internationalization of ISIS Sarrocchi (in the January 2015 version and confirmed in the PTOF), considering transnational internships as a key tool for ""contributing to the promotion of a genuine European labor market ""(Recommendation of the Council of 10/03/2014 on a Quality Framework for Traineeships) in which: - Students' outgoing skills meet the real needs of local and international companies; - The skills of their staff are constantly updated and permeated by a European and intercultural dimension. Through the project, the Institute will develop the following two macro-activities for the realization of its internationalization strategy: A) International internships lasting 35 days for 85 students of the IV classes of the mechanical and mechatronic, IT, electronic and electrotechnical sectors, chemical in companies in the United Kingdom, Spain, Poland, Ireland. The possible areas of performance and LOs were identified by the partners and cited in the relevant sections C of the Carta VET. The action will respond to the strategy of improving the quality of the educational offer and adequately preparing students for entry into the world of work or university; enhance the certification of skills in the non-formal sector (see internship), improve the personal growth paths of individuals. B) International internships lasting 120 days for 5 Institute graduates in the chemical, information technology and telecommunications sectors. This action will respond to the school's need to respond to a local labor market looking for European profiles. C) 9-day internship for 10 teachers and staff in the guidance and mentoring sector in international training centers in the UK and Poland. This action will respond to the strategy of allowing a different way of ""doing school"" through the continuous training of teachers and ATAs; raise the quality level of students' mobility experiences and their certification of skills. The above mentioned macro-actions will contribute to the goal of consolidating the local, regional and international network between the world of education and the job market. It should also be noted that the Institute, in implementation of the internationalization plan formalized in 2015, has consolidated relations with training centers and international companies and, through the mobility paths of teachers, has created new contacts with companies able to identify quality internship in accordance with the professional figures leaving the Institute. The Institute has consolidated the relationship with local companies, available to participate in the selection processes of candidates and in the final evaluation of the project and its impact. The project management actions correspond to consolidated practices: - Information and selection of candidates and staff through the procedures included in Carta Vet. For the staff the following selection criteria have been declined: experiences related to international mobility 50%, language skills 20%, motivation and impact capacity to return 30%. - Definition of LA in collaboration with international partners - Experiences abroad for students and staff according to the following flows: June 2019: learners (22 United Kingdom, 7 Spain, 8 Ireland, 5 Poland); graduates (2 Ireland) October 2019: staff (4 in UK, 3 Poland, 3 Ireland) June 2020: learners (21 United Kingdom, 8 Spain, 8 Ireland, 5 Poland); graduates (3 UK) - Evaluation of outcomes, recognition and certification of competences and ECVET points. Preparation of Europass certificates and CV review for students and staff. - Dissemination, project evaluation and impact, developing a survey aimed at collecting feedback from students and staff participating in the mobility to be used to reprogram and center the offer more accurately. With respect to the provisions of the internationalization strategy, there are no changes in scope. The primary objective is to improve the professional, linguistic and key skills of all the participants. The secondary objective is to improve the practices and the training offered by the Institute. Both individual and strategic learning objectives for the Institute and for international partners are confirmed. The numbers of the mobility participants have been expanded: 85 students and 10 staff. This year the Institute has scheduled preparatory visits (1 in February and 1 in December 2019) with the aim of getting to know new partners, sharing learning objectives for its learners and establishing intentions. Accompany teachers are expected to support and guarantee the achievement of the above mentioned objectives."

"The I.D.E.AZIONE project was promoted by ITIS ""C. Zuccante ""of Venice-Mestre, leader of a territorial Consortium of 5 Technical-Technological Education Institutes and other bodies operating in technical training, such as companies and trade associations. The purpose of the Consortium is to support the manufacturing industry and employment in the Venetian area involved in the challenge represented by internationalization and technological innovation.The actions have focused on the implementation of internships for pupils from the participating schools, carried out in European companies characterized by cutting-edge technology and dynamism, to stimulate in the learner the development of professional skills, ability to interact in a foreign language and key competences, in addition to the sense of European citizenship.The project consisted of 83 students belonging to areas related to the productive sectors of SMEs and crafts that characterize the Veneto Region: electrotechnics , electronics and automation, information technology and telecommunications, mechatronics and energy mechanics, chemistry and biotechnology.The mobility, preceded by linguistic and pedagogical preparation in Italy, was carried out in the summer of 2017 through 7 flows: 2 in the UK in Abergele, 1 in BG in Sofia, 1 in ES in Valencia, 1 in CZ in Prague, 1 in PL in Bialystok and 1 in EE in Tallinn. Each flow was monitored by dedicated tutors and structured in a week of linguistic preparation( the fundamentals of the country’s language) and cultural introduction to the job abroad, followed by 4 weeks of full-time internships in the company.The specific contents of the internship and the expected learning outcomes, formalized in the Learning Agreements, have been assessed and validated according to ECVET procedures, so as to be able to connect mobility to the School-Work Alternation and to recognize it in the formal school path. At the end of the experience the participants received language and internship certificates and the Europass Mobility Document.The impact of the project activities was significant, allowing the achievement of the expected results among all the actors involved (people and other institutions): growth of professional skills, linguistic but above all 'life skills' for the participants (96% very satisfied with their experiences); openness to cultural diversity and building of European belonging for the students themselves and the communities in which they live; internationalization, development of know-how in networking and improvement of school-work practices for schools; strengthening the dialogue between school and companies on the local territory to promote mutual recognition and transferability of qualifications with shared certification tools.In the long term, also thanks to the dissemination of the results of the project, we can see a further consolidation of the social, economic and training link between the school, business and other public and private stakeholders in the areas involved. Furthermore, on the thrust of the project, new collaborations are envisaged in the context of community programs that fund transnational activities."
