Explaining our ECTs system for our Erasmus students

For ICT students of our short cycle of Web Application Development

• When you travel abroad to do an Erasmus traineeship it belongs to the "on company training" module (FCTs - Formació en Centres de Treball)
• This module has 22 ECTs and you are suposed to dedicate 400 hours. The whole studies have 60 ECTs. Every subject has each equivalent in ECTs. See table below.
• You can do two or three months abroad. Three months is recommended.
• If you stay abroad 3 months, you complete the whole module and get the 22 ECTs.
• If you travel 2 months then you get the proportional part of ECTs and you have to complete the 400 hours in local companies. To get the ECTs you need to succesfully pass both trainings: local and abroad.

IES Joan Ramis i Ramis de Maó awarded a charter EUCX (Erasmus University Charter) under the Lifelong Learning Programme

The Education, Audiovisual & Culture Executive Agency – EACEA has awarded our High School -IES Joan Ramis i Ramis de Maó – the Extended Erasmus University Charter (standard charter and student placements)

With it, our institution will participate, at least until the course 2013/14, in this european project and will benefit our Computer Science vocational students.

The main objectives of this program will be the following:

• To obtain more practical experience exchanges abroad for our students and teachers, as it happens at the universities. Our higher studies are a pre-university study and our students can get ECVET credits.

• To allow foreign students and teachers to visit our institution and have a practical training in our island.

• To increase the number of people with a knowledge of foreign languages.

• To allow foreign students and teachers to learn from our culture and languages.

• To give a high quality education to our students

• To accomplish the compromise of a continuous improvement as it is established in our Strategic Plan and in the list of compromises of our institution.

IES JOAN RAMIS I RAMIS – RECEIVING STUDENTS FOR TRAINEESHIP IN MINORCA

We are working in the possibility to receive international computer students to work for a month in one of the companies that cooperate with us and where our own students do their stages. From this blog we offer this to whatever educational institution that might be interested. Just fell free to contact with us and ask for more information.

The basic idea would be the following:

* between one and three months in a company in Minorca: between January and March.

* The student must be able to communicate in Spanish, English or French.

* We would receive their Curriculum and send them to the companies for the final selection.

* We cannot offer payment to the students, so the best way would be if they have a Leonardo or similar.

* We would help the student to find a room with a family or help him/her to find a cheap hostel. It also depends in the languages they can communicate with.

Companies here are small computer shops and a telecommunications
company. Probably the most interesting for students is to see how
companies work in our island, improve their Spanish and get to know our nice
island (www.menorca.es ).
