Huittinen Business and Vocational College is a secondary level vocational institute. Our school is located in Huittinen, in Southeastern Finland.
Huittinen is a small rural town of approximately 10.500 inhabitants. A great deal of our students come from another town, which makes the bus station rather hectic in the mornings.

After completing the three-year program, our students acquire a vocational qualification in either Business and Administration or Business Information Technology. Work-based learning plays an important role in vocational education. To put it simply, a great deal of subjects are first studied at school and the knowledge is then deepened at the workplace. That is where the students also show what they learned at school and they are often evaluated based on their performance in the workplace. The students spend at least two months at the workplace per academic year.

Our Comenius group consists of 15 students in their second or third year. The project is a voluntary course and involves mainly online communication. We communicate through Facebook, as there is always someone doing work-based learning, and thus the whole group is never physically in the same building. In addition to this group, the whole school takes part in the project by contributing to the project assignments in ways that integrate naturally with the curriculum.

Before the first trip to Spain, the whole Comenius group has been working hard so more students could participate and travel to the project meetings. Selling different items has been a good opportunity to practice both marketing skills and bookkeeping!
