The needs were the subject of lengthy preparatory work in steering committee meetings and can be broken down into the following four areas: 1/ Fight against social determinism 2/ Opening our students to Europe and the world to create new opportunities. 3/ Overcoming local structural constraints 4/ Rehabilitate the image of the vocational route: more excellence, opportunities, and human development We have targeted for these internship mobilities mainly our first-year students, but especially our final-year Bac Pro students who will have to enter the job market in the months following their baccalaureate. They are one hundred and nine students, twelve chaperones, and a team of ten staff from the school who worked on this form beforehand and drafted the smallest details and who will be in charge of this project during and after its organization. We hoped not only that our students would succeed in their baccalaureate, but also that they would have real opportunities for future employment and mobility. We also hoped to convince their families and the entire social fabric surrounding these young people of the importance of European projects. With this major project, our school is committing itself to a real policy of openness to mobility and to Europe.
We applied for this project because our primary objectives were : A - to enrich the skills of our BAC PRO students from 6 different streams by widening the range of practical training sites in specific fields that are not easily accessible in our region; B - to open up training and integration horizons for these young people who will inexorably be confronted with an economic fabric that is too limited to ensure their employability and professional development; C - to support teachers in their search for innovative educational solutions
