ERASMUS (Grado Medio)

Here we have the experience of Iker about his Erasmus placement in Dublin:

My name is Iker and I’m currently  in a traineeship in Dublin. The Company is an official test center for English that is a requisite for students and professionals who wish to study, work or migrate to an English-speaking country.

 

The exam is an English language proficiency test that includes writing, speaking and hearing skills. I usually receive the candidates when they arrive to the exam and pick and review the required documentation. Once the exam is completed, I carry out the process of reviewing , scanning and ratings  transcription. On the other hand, I also participate in the process of sending and receiving exams from educational centers which include physical visits to the post offices.

 

This is certainly a great experience and an opportunity that allows you to gain experience in the marketplace combined with an international practice that allows you also to continue learning the language intensively. I’m enjoying Erasmus + very much and I fully recommend it.

We are sure that this has been a very joyful experience!

ERASMUS+ Experience (Grado Superior)

 It has been a month already since Miguel and Celia left Spain in order to start their internships abroad. Here it is what they have to say about it:

Hi I'm Miguel, I am currently doing my internship at the British Chamber of Commerce in Hungary. My experience here has been nothing but exceptional at the moment, experiencing how business is runned in another country is really mind-opening and broadens your knowledge in every single aspect. From managing the chamber's email to organizing events for the members and non-members to give them a platform to expand their business. As far as life outside work, everything is totally different but still impressive, meeting people from places I never knew existed and the willingness there is to make new friendships is something everyone should experience. I have only great words for this experience, and I'd recommend it to anyone who's interested in widening their knowledge in international businesses and moving out of their comfort zone. This experience makes you grow professionally and personally.

Here is Celia's experience:

My experience doing an internship in another country it's been very good, but sometimes it's strange. Coming to another country alone, with another language, another culture and even another currency.

Maybe the worst part of thi is feeling alone here, but in my case I don’t feel alone most of the time. Sometimes I really enjoy being alone but I’m not alone here, my flatmate for example is a very good girl and we have fun together, even my Turkish friends at the office, we have so many laughs together.

I really enjoy being here in Poznan although the weather is still a bit unstable (today we have a maximum temperature of 7ºC and tomorrow we will be at 16ºC).

At first I thought that the language would be a problem, maybe because I was very shy to talk in English because I thought my level was not very high, but when I arrive here that was not a problem because I can have normal and fluid conversations with almost everyone, but there are sometimes that I don’t know some words and try to explain it with another words, or even invented a word, like ‘place for the planes’ to say ‘airport’ or ‘forest’s policemans’ to say ‘forestry experts’ and we always have lots of laughs.

I’ve met new friends from a lot of countries such as Colombia, Germany, China, Indonesia, Turkey, France and some Polish people, and we had a very good time together.

Very soon they'll be back and they will tell us all about their stay abroad!

ERASMUS in Tallinn, Estonia

David has already been in Estonia for a month, and even though it is already Spring, it seems that he Stills quite some more Snow to experience during has traineeship in Tallinn.

Here you have some of has thoughts:

"El trabajo me gusta mucho y lo estoy disfrutando bastante ya que está muy relacionado con lo que hemos estudiado en el grado, hago varias tareas como redes sociales (diseño de las imágenes y realización de los textos para dichas publicaciones), incluyo contenido en la app (procedimientos médicos) y sobretodo hago investigación de los diferentes mercados como Letonia, Polonia, Finlandia etc... Principalmente busco socios comerciales, regulaciones bancarias para realizar cobros y recibir pagos, localizo nuestro target en los países (compañías de seguros, hospitales, escuelas etc...) Y la verdad esque es bastante entretenido, pero también es un trabajo exigente y requiere mucha concentración y tiempo.

En cuanto a la vida aquí está muy bien pero no se compara con España ya que el cambio es bastante grande en ciertos aspectos como por ejemplo como es el carácter de la gente aquí, son muy desconfiados y en ocasiones pueden llegar a ser demasiado fríos pero cuando hablas con ellos y te relacionas son bastante majos. Tambien he conocido a mucha gente de España y de otro países como Holanda, Grecia, Italia, Rusia y la verdad es que con ellos estoy muy bien, salimos siempre a hacer muchos planes como visitar sitios turísticos, ir a tomar algo o ir de fiesta, la verdad es que son gente muy maja. Hace cosa de 2 semanas visité Letonia y pase allí el fin de semana con una amiga y estuvo muy bien, fue un viaje que repetiría seguro en un futuro y dentro de poco tenemos planeado ir a Helsinki para encontrarnos allí los de Erasmus de las Javerianas.

En general todo muy bien y muy contento aunque echo de menos a mi familia y amigos de España "

ERASMUS in Dublin, Ireland

Valentina and Wendy are enjoying their time in Dublin while doing their work traineeship. They have been lucky and the arrived in Ireland Just in time to be able to celebrate Saint Patrick's Day with the Irish and following their traditions.

Here you have some of the reflections that Wendy and Valentina have done:

"I've been here a month now and I think I'm used to the city, the transport and the people.

Fun fact: there are a lot of people who speak Spanish in the city whether they are from Spain or South America. In general, shops close quite early, with the exception of supermarkets (some) and bars. The weather is crazy but I'm used to it. They love to ride bikes everywhere. The city is really beautiful and whenever I'm walking I find something new to see.”

"I have visited the Cliffs of Moher and also Galway, a small coastal town in the west of Ireland. It has been an interesting experience."

ERASMUS 2020-2021

 

Hello everyone!

As you may know, we are back on track with the Erasmus+ Programme. Even though we are in the middle of a worldwide pandemic, we are still hopeful and we want to provide our students with the best opportunities that they could have while they study with us.

Usually, by this time of the year we are in the midst of interviews with the different companies that collaborate with us; but since we couldn't do the selection process last April due to a whole country lockdown and ending the school year online without being able to see our students at least once before the summer holidays, we are doing it now.

All students in their second year at the EPJ are welcomed to start the selection process. To do so, you need to send the following documents to the ERASMUS e-mail from the Escuela Profesional Javeriana:

• Your CV (Curriculum Vitae) in English following the EUROPASS format
• Cover Letter / Presentation Letter explaining why you want to be an Erasmus student from the EPJ.
• Document by the bank or family members stating that you have either enough savings or that they are willing to help you economically through the three months that internships last

All documents must be submitted by Friday 30th of October at 23:59.

We are contacting the companies and establishments that usually collaborate with us to see how they are doing after their respectives lockdowns and hoping that they are being safe and wishing them the best. Thankfully, most of them are back to business as normal, without any major incidents!

As soon as we have all the documents, we will start the process of interviewing with each candidate and assessing their English level in order to make the final decision.

Good luck!

ERASMUS+ 2020 KICK OFF

Hello everyone!

After a very busy month of February our Erasmus+ students are ready and eager to spread their wings and live new experiences.

María José and Natalia are getting ready to fly to the UK. It has been a very stressful beginning of the year because we didn't know what could happen because of the Brexit and how it would affect their internship.

Thankfully, everything has been set, and they are good to go and learn a lot about imports and exports.

Natascha and Luis Eduardo are going to go to Poland and be a little bit cold at the beginning; hopefully they are ready for it. They are going to be more involved in regards to marketing and also administrative work.

Finally, Luis is going to Ireland and enjoy the beautiful scenery they have. His internship is also closely related to administrative work.

We wish them all the best and hopefully they'll come back with a better knowledge of English and much more independent.

10 years being ERASMUS+

Ten years ago we sent our first Erasmus students on an adventure, but it wasn't only an adventure for them, it was also for us, the ones that stayed behind making sure that their experience was going well and being their homebase in case something went wrong.

We can definitely say that the beginnings weren't easy: the administrative work in order to be and Erasmus+ institution, looking for companies that would welcome our students during three months to do practice work, but also to advise them in any doubts they could have about living in that foreign country, and so many more hurdles...

We are happy to say that, in one way or another, we have been able to send students to many different countries: Ireland, the UK, North Macedonia, Czech Republic, Poland, Croatia, Estonia... And we are getting ready to collaborate on a whole other level with other institutions.

In addition, we cannot forget to mention that the Erasmus+ programme not only has enriched the experiences of our students while doing their practice work abroad, it has also been an opportunity for us teachers. Firstly, because we have had to keep in mind that the learning process has to contemplate the global world and society we live in, but also it has allowed some of us to travel and see how other places work and what we can learn from them.

In conclusion, we are overjoyed with how these 10 years been part of the ERASMUS+ programme have made us improve ourselves, and we cannot wait to see what the next 10 years have in store for us!

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE EP JAVERIANA ON THIS ACHIEVEMENT!

WELCOME BACK!

Our ERASMUS+ students are back in Spain!

They have come back sharing their experiences in Poland, Estonia, Ireland and the UK. After almost three months we have no doubt that they have improved both their professional skills as well as personally.

The students from Grado Superior had to demonstrate their improvement while presenting their final projects completely in English.

They have shown that these three months have been well exploited. Not only their speaking has advanced leaps and bounds; they have also shown how working in a different environment has made them think outside of the box and present very interesting projects.

We hope that their experience doesn't stay as a fond memory, but that they will use those skills learnt all their life.
