Imprenditoria e REsponsabilità Sociale

Description

The project was realized by a consortium whose sending members are 6 technical and vocational education institutes located in Veneto, in the provinces of Rovigo, Padua, Vicenza and Verona.The 129 learners who took part into it were mostly at the end of the fourth year of upper secondary school and some graduates.In the Northeast economic context where the internationalization process undertaken by many companies has enabled a crisis survival, companies competing in world markets require workers who besides being able to master foreign languages have also acquired multi- cultural skills allowing them to interact with international partners.Therefore the project aimed at developing the skills needed to enter an internationalized company; indeed, the Learning Outcomes (LO) covered the scope of both key and soft skills (self-learning, initiative, cultural awareness, autonomy, sense of responsibility and adaptability, ability to deal with and solve problems, build up constructive relationships, work in groups) related to the vocational skills of the students’ course of studies. The course of study involved were those focused on the economic sector and its interrelated services: Administration Finance and Marketing, Corporate IT Systems, Tourism, but also Business and Social Care Services.Corporate Social Responsibility was the main focus of the project; that is the new perception of the impact of business behaviors at an economic, social and environmental level. A growing number of Venetian companies, most concerned with the challenges of the future, are adhering to CSR; this project, alongside the school opening to Europe and the world, aimed at giving students the opportunity to improve their knowledge through lectures made by consortium partners and field visits to companies that work ethically according to the principles of CSR.The 5 week mobility, accomplished in UK, IE, ES, FR, DE, included a full time internship of 4 weeks following a first week of language training and cultural introduction to the foreign work environment that completed the Linguistic and pedagogical training phase carried out in Italy.The internship abroad has been designed as a Learning Unit accredited as ‘Alternanza scuola-Lavoro. It has been outlined according to ECVET procedures so as to be accepted and validated through the assignment of specific credits by each sending school.Participants were given the required certificates, including the Certificate of Competence and the Europass Mobility. These are certifications that enhance the individual portfolio and, possibly, employability.The project was carried out according to a plan that included a schedule, steps and actions; all deadlines have been met and results constantly monitored.The final feedback, carried out on the various subjects/stakeholders involved, shown a high degree of satisfaction.The project, as expected, has improved language skills, which constitute a resource that can be immediately spent in school, but also later on in future studies and job; It has provided knowledge and developed professional skills; it has increased participants’ self-esteem, awareness and autonomy, but above all, it has widened their cultural horizons and increased their European citizenship awareness.The project has also strengthened the consortium with regard to non-sending partners who shared with schools the interest in spreading the knowledge and importance of CSR, reinforcing the cooperation between the world of education and the world of work.
