Our Partner Organisations

How Our Partnerships Work

Learn in a Flash works with Italian high schools whose students complete PCTO (Percorsi per le Competenze Trasversali e l'Orientamento) hours, now known as FSL – Formazione Scuola-Lavoro. Unpaid work experience is offered as “either Curricular Traineeships, for EU high school students, or volunteering in not-for-profit organisations”. Where a placement is in Ireland, the student is an Italian student fulfilling the Italian framework abroad. Learn in a Flash states: “We have selected, visited and trained every single School House.”

• “Ask your high school to internationalise and support our international programmes to be able to fully take part.”
• “Register for free to see if your high school organises groups with us.”
• 14 and 15 year old students “must travel in accompanied groups, with a teacher/adult travelling there and back with them. It could be a parent or an over 18 year old friend or relative.”
• “Depending on your school you will have a further discount too!”
• Insurance against injuries and damage to third parties for all work experiences and volunteering, with additional coverage for students of the three-year period.

What a Partner School Receives

Free counselling: a school can create an educational project that extends work experience options beyond not-for-profit volunteering to any workplace on the marketplace — for example a graphic design studio, event organisation, or a teacher assistant role in a nursery or primary school.

Work placements are matched directly between students, led by their Internal Tutors, and employers, with the possibility of viewing profiles and carrying out job interviews through internal messaging. Learn in a Flash states it does not “send students” or arrange placements for them — students actively propose themselves for the roles Work Tutors describe.

For a group departure, free counselling and paperwork is provided for a collective group passport, which can reduce the cost and bureaucratic burden compared with individual passports.

The process includes an introductory meeting for parents and students (in person or online), training for Internal Tutors, a pre-departure meeting for questions, and a feedback meeting for continuous improvement. Paperwork — agreements between the school and the hosting organisation, the individual project, the register, and compulsory evaluation forms — is pre-compiled and ready for signature, alongside risk assessments.

Taking Part as a High School

If you represent a school or institution that sends students abroad for work experience or language immersion: “Ask your high school to internationalise and support our international programmes to be able to fully take part.”

We work with schools on an individual basis to ensure our programme structure meets your specific curriculum requirements. Contact us at info@work-related-learning.com to begin a conversation.
