Our
school was fortunate enough to win funds for yet another work
experience program in the UK. In the framework of the European
Union`s ERASMUS+ programme 20 students have the
opportunity to take part in a mobility programme that means a 4-week
stay in the picturesque city of Broadstairs. Our students are placed
at different small and medium sized enterprises to get a first
hand experience of the world of work. For most of them, this is
their first job. This is an outstanding opportunity to gain work
experience in an English-speaking environment. Besides improving
their language and inter-cultural skills they map the companies and
try to get to know how enterprises operate in the UK,
which is one of the economically most developed members of the EU.
As
the students who participated in last year`s programme popularised
this great opportunity quite effectively through their presentations,
sharing pictures, videos and using this blog, there were a lot of
applicants to the programme. All applicants went through a complex
selection process where their language skills, academic performance
and motivation were assessed. In order to secure equal chances for
all students in our school we proportionately selected students from
all class types (bilingual, language preparatory and normal) and
students who are disadvantaged (socially or financially) received
extra points. Applicants were tested anonymously to secure
objectivity. Finally, after months of preparation the 20 students are
here in Broadstairs and they will probably gain some of the most
memorable and useful experiences of their lives.
