Teacher Exchange Besides the above mentiond aims the following aims shall be reached: - Exchange with the partner organisation about the curriculum, principles of teaching, methodology of vocational education - Strengthening the bonds with the partner school and partner companies as well as gaining new company partners for the student exchange
Student Exchange Especially employees in the hotel and catering sector but also in the food production sector are expected to have working experiences in foreign countries to improve their career opportunities. The internationalisation of markets and production increase the necessity to get informed about customer expectations and quality standards in other countries. Due to the fact that not every company can provide adequate international experiences for their trainees, the IBL has aimed to offer that opportunity for many year. The project encourages apprentices to work abroard after having completed their apprenticeship to gain further international work experiences. Teacher Exchange Our institution wants to react to the increasing demand of our partner industries to stress the internationalisation of the vocational education in Germany. Furthermore, we aim to match the trend of creating a standardised and comparable apprenticeship scheme within the European Union.
