KART CROSS DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION<\/h4><\/p>\n

Students in Year 1 of BVT studying Automotion will design a kart chassis, firstly on the drawing board, checking its viability, and then actually building it.
\nThe aim of this project is that the chassis will be completely finished by the end of Year 1, mounting the steering, bodywork and undercarriage,\u00a0and in Year 2 the students will complete it with an engine and brakes.<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

SHARING EXPERIENCES<\/h4><\/p>\n

The aim of this project is that the experience of some may serve to motivate the rest through three different dynamics: Former pupils that have been professionally successful recount their experiences to current pupils at the school. Students currently studying AVT and who previously studied IVT relay their experience to today\u2019s students. Students that have taken part in the ERASMUS+ programme give the others their opinion on this activity.<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

BUSINESS IN THE CLASSROOM<\/h4><\/p>\n

This project is designed to teach the business module in a different way in the classroom. A space divided into departments, like a company, and with interrelated tasks, also like a company,
\nbut without leaving the classroom. We introduce our students to the reality of the world of work.<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

ERASMUS+<\/h4><\/p>\n

Students in vocational training can take part in the ERASMUS+ Programme through the Workplace Training module in a European country.
\nThey can put into practice everything they have learnt at the College and enjoy a work and personal experience of other cultures and countries.<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

KEY COMPETENCIES<\/h4><\/p>\n

Growing professionally\u2026 Growing as a person. This is a supplementary module that is taught in Vocational Training to instruct students in a responsible approach to a job,
\nthe organisation of work, interpersonal relationships and the management of change, as competencies that are highly valued in the labour market.<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

WEEK DEDICATED TO SAINT IGNATIUS<\/h4><\/p>\n

For one week a year, our pupils and students carry out activities related to the life of Saint Ignatius, designed to foster the fours \u201cCs\u201d of Ignatius\u2019s teachings, seeking to educate people that are conscientious, compassionate, competent and committed..<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

DUAL TRAINING<\/h4><\/p>\n

Our Vocational Training has two projects adopting a dual approach, one in the advanced level of Automotion and the other in the advanced level of Development of Web Applications,
\nwhere students in Year 1 undertake placements in companies, being able from the first day to train both at the company and at the college.<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

HEALTHY BREAKFAST<\/h4><\/p>\n

We are taught the importance of a healthy breakfast from a very young age, so in Vocational Training we take this to heart and encourage our students by holding workshops on learning
\nhow to start the day in a healthy manner, in collaboration with partner businesses.<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

VISITING MY FUTURE COMPANY<\/h4><\/p>\n

It is very important for Vocational Training students to know the company where they are going to undertake their future placements, so we constantly arrange visits to companies to discover the reality of work.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

TUTORIALS AMONG EQUALS<\/h4><\/p>\n

We apply the \u201cDel Experto\u201d [Of the Expert] method, whereby those students that have already studied IVT and are now in AVT share their knowledge with their peers from other courses.<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

VIRTUAL SUPPORT IN THE CLASSROOM<\/h4><\/p>\n

As a support tool for students, the IT department has used the Moodle platform to design high-quality online courses for each one of the subjects taught in IVT and AVT. The aim is to provide our students with a digital support for our face-to-face courses that will enable them not only to access the syllabus content, but also to communicate with teachers
\nand monitor their progress with their study assignments.<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

DEVELOPMENT OF COMMUNICATION CAPABILITIES<\/h4><\/p>\n

Individual and group oral presentations are held to showcase the assignments carried out in the different areas. Their purpose is to teach students to express themselves in a professional and technical environment in which increasingly greater use is being made of IT media for accompanying a talk.
\nThe students show us their blogs, individual websites and the web tutorials they have created throughout the course as a way of expressing what they have learnt in class. The aim of these \u201cworkshops\u201d is to improve their use of language, their \u201ccomposure\u201d in front of an audience, their ability to teamwork while respecting other people\u2019s turn to speak
\nand making a proportional division of the presentation, improving and exercising their communications skills and, in short, developing their communication capabilities.<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

RECYCLING AS A LAST RESORT, EVERYTHING SHOULD HAVE A SECOND CHANCE<\/h4><\/p>\n

Based on the notion that everything we learn should be put into practice in everyday life, a working party has been set up accordingly. Students are encouraged to bring all kinds of broken equipment to class and try to repair it. In addition, a collection basket has been provided so that anyone in the school community can use it to leave the \u201cjunk\u201d they no longer use, but which is \u201cvaluable\u201d for our students. The aim is for students to learn that theoretical content has a practical application, making them feel motivated and proud of themselves when they manage to tackle a real case, and do so successfully.<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

PROGRAMAM\u00c9<\/h4><\/p>\n

ProgramaMe is a Spanish software programming competition for students enrolled on vocational training courses. Each student in an AVT Dual-Bilingual course takes part in the regional heat in Zaragoza, forming teams of three, and whose motivation goes beyond having a fun day-out doing what they like doing. They use their programming knowledge to prepare for it and improve their skills to overcome the challenges they are posed. Are you up for it?<\/p>\n
