Alternance
SCHOOL - WORK ALTERNANCE What is it ?
Internship periods give students the chance
to include work experience in their curricular pathways
School- driven work-based learning integrating classroom acquisitions
with workplace experience. Both are included in the school curriculum
and have the same educational value
School –based (curriculum
driven)
Company-based (work- tasks
driven)
SCHOOL - WORK ALTERNANCE: AIMS
Enhance effectiveness
of learning through the acquisition of
competences both at school and on the workplace
Give guidance to students and increase their awareness
of the world of work and professions
Increase the attractiveness of VET through direct work experience encourage re- motivation processes
in learning Facilitate students’ self-knowledge

SCHOOL – WORK ALTERNANCE: How it works
School and company joint planning and assessment Tutoring by a teacher/tutor and a team who ‘facilitate’ the students’ learning processes.
Pedagogic team: Manager of the Alternance Project (at school) School tutor - responsible for training integration Work-place tutor - responsible for trainees
The school is responsible for the design, organization and control of short internship periods during school time through specific agreements with enterprises of the concerned industrial, crafts or agricultural sector, as well as public and private institutions
(banks, insurance companies, local authorities . . .)
