Tiivistelmä
In this paper we describe a system which can be used to foster the international practicing of higher education students. The system has been successfully piloted during a EU project called SPRING to Work. The SPRING to Work system for international traineeships defines the roles of the participants precisely enough to better utilize the potential benefits from each practicing period from the point of view of all the participants, especially the students.
The system introduces a four corner model for arranging traineeships abroad. A concept of a new kind of actor, “the host university”, has been added to the system. Also a new kind of element, “the Work pair model” to overcome language problems where needed, has been added to the system.
In order to utilize this kind of four corner traineeship, also a web-based application is provided to the university traineeship facilitators, companies and students willing to do their traineeships abroad. Instructions for using the application have been added to this paper as an appendix.
This publication introduces the SPRING to Work model and also the related web-based application to implement it within universities and companies as well as students willing to do their traineeship abroad.
