Unforgettable experience of the students involved into project.

Institute G.B.Rubini involves 17 students into PON project “A bridge between Italy and abroad”

Exciting internship in Malta

For the latest fifteen years Italian School has become increasingly conscious that the production process evolution requires a further high necessity of knowledge. Nowadays, the awareness of knowledge is essential in the global competition and the learning process shows an interaction between the theoretical dimension of the study path and the practice one. This re-assessment puts into effects by focusing attention not only on disciplines but also on skills. The linguistic competence, together with a work experience abroad, is certainly part of this evolution process towards to guide and support a conscious entry of the students into the work reality, which is actually more competitive. This project represents the right way towards an effective alliance between the school world and the work-market. This also strenghtens the collaboration of several actors committed to looking at and achieving wider aims of internationalization. It depicts a winning challenge between the actual society and the more increasing work-market. This experience has been successful thanks to the willingness and ability of all those people involved into collaboration. Students, teachers and trainers have truly believed that training effectively requires a close link to the work environment, especially abroad. In the triangulation enterprise-school-student, the student certainly represents the real midpoint as active key-player in all phases. From one side, the school has been involved into understanding all the educational needs; from the other side, the students have been asked for sharing their targets, by giving their best to goal those through a deep aim-oriented appraisal.

This project has given the pupils opportunity of a job experience in tune with their attitudes, study course, targets and aimed goals. Not only the experience of a stage, but also the reaching and improving their language competence has been considered as essential for their future. In a more increasingly globalized society, the English language further represents a conditio-sine-qua-non towards jobseekers competition in an international labor market.

from doing the internship abroad. Communication is a vital part of the modern professional world, so undertaking an internship abroad will help them become more flexible, open minded and willing to listen to new ideas. Furthermore they will gain more knowledge and skills they need for their job and a good chance to get a job offer in a foreign country. Do you think that after this experience the students are more aware of their future choices?- A month of work experience is not enough to acquire a high level of professional competence but it can be a starting-point to help them understand how important it is to share ideas and points of view with other

people. The world of work has changed and is constantly evolving towards its increasingly internationalization. What do you think of the internship in general, especially as regards the need to combine practical experience with the theoretical one? - The internship has the dual role of providing the means for students to put into practice what they have learnt in theory. In addition the work experience can help students acquire the necessary skills that are required

… interviewing the Prof!

How do you consider the experience in Malta and what is the most surprising thing about this trip?-I thoroughly enjoyed my experience in Malta with students as soon I realized that they would gain a lot from the internship in this country. Practical experience is the best and the internships give them that hands-on experience they need. I feel that quality internship is essential to develop key-skills that students cannot get in a classroom.

Did you get to know the students you accompanied in more detail? Do you believe that the relationship with them has somehow improved?-The Maltese experience was rich and positive for me either as I had the opportunity to observe the students in different environmental contexts. They usually look much more mature and responsible when they are actively involved in something they really love doing. How important is it for the orientation of young people, the need for work experience abroad?- Personally, I think the internship is a valuable experience in that the students have the opportunity to learn how to work with different people and in different situations. More than that they can get a lot of benefits

nowadays in order to compete in struggling economic situations. It is clear that the linguistic competence is in the modern labor market an essential condition for a correct placement of our students, what are the initiatives or impulses that the school today can or should give to its teaching? - Schools have a fundamental role in preparing students for their future job.
