Centre d'Estudis Sant Francesc aims at better internationalizing its students. Currently CESF is offering Intermediate Vocational Programmes for Commerce (Retail), Carers, Auxiliary Nursing Assistants and Computer Technicians. Also, for those students who could not finish the compulsory secondary education a course in the field of Computing is offered. For the unemployed, there are also two courses to get a Professional Qualification. Short-degree cycles are also taught in different areas such as business, computers or community services (Early Childhood Education and Social Work).What the school needs is the following: 1) students need more foreign language skills (especially English) and some type of added value (internships abroad) in order to increase their employability, and 2) we need better prepared teachers who approach business to classrooms, especially internationally speaking. This staff should also be better prepared at foreign languages to provide more content in English and make students have more contact with the language in the classes, epecially in the field of VET and the courses described above.Activities:A1) various flows to carry out traineeships in companies are planned. 39-day flows: Ireland and the UK. 13 students. June and July 2017.35-day flows: Italy, Ireland and the UK. 22 students. June and July 2017; February and March 2018; June and July 2018.32-day flows: Malta, Italy and the UK. 10 students. February and March 2018.A2) for teachers, a flow for five teachers is planned in Italy. Various renown companies with a very comprehensive variety of services serve as examples for teachers in the area of Health and Social Services.To carry out the project, we talk to students who are likely to take part in it to make them aware of the importance of these traineeship periods. As for the training activity for teachers, the idea that it is a unique opportunity is emphasized. The selection process is meant to be very objective and, once selected, participants are monitored by the sending institution as well as by both the intermediary and the receiving organization. At the end of the project, students' results are analyzed from the point of view of employability and language learning. As for the staff, the implementation of new concepts and methods in their classes is evaluated.CESF is aiming at increasing the number of well-prepared students in the VET sector who can afterwards enrol in any course in the field of Higher Vocational Training, and actually enhance their employability. As for teachers, they will be encouraged to use in their lessons new knowledge and methods acquired in their job shadowing experiences.
