Erasmus+ Ausbildungspartner
Erasmus+ Austauschprogramm
Wir als kaufmännische Auszubildende (Industriekaufleute) aus dem jetzigen 3. Lehrjahr hatten im Juni 2022 die einmalige Chance an einem tollen Projekt teilzunehmen. Ein 3-wöchiges Auslandspraktikum nach Dublin in Irland, gefördert durch Erasmus+ und ermöglicht durch die bbs1Celle.
Nachdem wir von dem Angebot erfahren hatten, sprachen wir direkt mit unserer Ausbilderin. Diese fand die Möglichkeit und die Idee, unsere Ausbildung drei Wochen an einem anderen Ort auszuüben genauso toll und spannend wie wir und stand dem Ganzen direkt offen gegenüber.
Durch das Praktikum haben wir die Chance bekommen, in einem anderen Land neue Arbeitserfahrungen zu sammeln, unsere sprachlichen Kenntnisse weiter zu verbessern und uns für eine Zeit lang sogar als Teil einer anderen Kultur zu fühlen.
Wir hatten wirklich eine tolle und spannende Zeit und sind mit vielen neuen Eindrücken zurück nach Hause und ins Unternehmen gekommen.
Für unsere Teilnahme an diesem Projekt haben wir am Ende einen Europass als Auszeichnung bzw. Mobilitätsnachweis erhalten und auch unser Unternehmen, die Achilles Gruppe, wurde als Erasmus+ Ausbildungspartner ausgezeichnet, dadurch das sie uns dieses Auslandspraktikum ermöglicht haben.
Willkommen bei Achilles!
