Erasmus+ Mobility in Dublin
From 13 to 26 October 2024, selected fourth year students participated in an Erasmus+ work placement. This time the placement took place in Dublin, Ireland, with a total of 10 pupils and their supervisors.
The students were selected based on the recommendations of the teachers and the proper completion of all pre-departure obligations. The students stayed in homestays where they could get to know the typical Irish household, culture and cuisine. The internship was work-based, so the pupils were placed in six different technical companies according to their specialisation:
Vít Suchan and Karel Macek (4.SB) worked in the company Accutool on the production of components using CNC technology. Miroslav Sojka (4.EA) and Jaroslav Kolouch (4.EB) were placed in the repair and service of iPhone phones Imend. Radim Barták (4.EA) and Jáchym Šonka (4.EB) were employed in the service of mobile phones and laptops IT Star. Matej Kopeček (4.EA) then completed his internship in MicroPro Computers, which offers computer sales, service and repair. Student Tereza Böhmová (4.SA) worked in an engineering manufacturing company Prism Engineering. Finally, student Quang Bui (4.SB) and student Veronika Uhrínová (4.SA) spent their internship in a company Stoney CNC, which designs and manufactures CNC machines.
Outside of work, the students were able to explore Dublin and its surroundings. To do this, they either took personal time off work or went on two trips with local guides from Twin. On Saturday 19 October, the group walked around the sights of Dublin city centre, accompanied by a colourful Irish guide who provided historical insights as well as folk anecdotes. On Sunday 20 October, despite the windy weather, the students went for a hike along the Howth coast, where they enjoyed scenic views of the sea and sandwiches prepared by their host families on the edge of the cliff.
This mobility was very successful both in terms of professional and personal development of all participants. The students had the opportunity to visit a foreign country where they gained many new experiences. For some of them, this internship was the first opportunity to use English in authentic communication with native and non-native speakers. In addition, according to the feedback from the companies where they worked, our students demonstrated not only knowledge but also work commitment, giving our school a good name in Ireland.
