4. Teachers workshop in La Palma/Spain (Workpackage 4), 6.-12.03.2017
We shared experiences and good practices in different kind of cooperations with the world of work. In all institutions we have projects with local companies and other kind of social institutions. Students learn by taking part of logo and poster competitions.
Also in all four countries students make part of their studies in the companies, but length of those on-the-job learning periods vary a lot.
This is a chart how internship periods are located during the three year studies in ROCFriesePoort (Netherlands). In their studies they have total of 1070 hours practising period in companies. All these hours has to be done during the study year. They also make a project at the end of the practising which is evaluated by the teacher and a representative of the company.
In Finland students have minimum of 30 skills points on-the-job learning period during their studies. Skills points are not directly converted to working time because is this system student´s skills are more important than time. Anyway average minimum time in companies or other kind of world of work related projects is about 20 weeks.
There is only 4 weeks work experience period in Spain during their studies. But They also make projects together with local and city council. Projects like posters to carneval "Los Indianos".
Those students who took part of this project from Germany are studying in so called dual system / apprenticeship training. In this system students are/ study more time in companies than at school.
