A comprehensive internship programme developed by the educational staff at La Blanca Paloma VET Centre. that involves profiling and matching students with suitable companies and organisations within a vast network of external stakeholders. It ensures workplace adjustments if needed and provides continuous follow-up during internships, setting a high standard compared to other VET centers in Spain. The organisation conducts user profiling through the established procedures of the educational staff for profiling and matching students with stakeholders. Beforehand, the student makes a list of places where they are interested in doing the internship. Student selection considers academic performance in relevant 1st and 2nd year courses. It follows the following structure: average mark of each course (60%), personal interview (20%) and a selection questionnaire (20%). Once completed, each student will have access (or not) to the chosen work placement. The practice tackles diversity regarding learners with disabilities, health problems, barriers to education and discrimination. The practice is highly transferable to other educational settings, adaptable for various types of SEN. All in all, this practice is highly transferable to other educational institutions aiming to enhance internship opportunities and collaborations. |
