The key phase of the work based learning: Matching phase

– Expectations and motivation assessment thanks to a Zoom meeting interview to ease the matching process
– Discussion with ALFMED network of Mentors (700 hosting companies) to validate and confirm participant’s placement
ALFMED staff takes care of welcoming students at the train station or at Perpignan airport and takes you directly to the accommodation. Local transfers from other airports (Girona & Barcelona – Toulouse & Carcassonne) are available on request.
All transfers and reception are provided by the staff of the Academy.
After settling into the accommodation, the student receives a file “the arrival pack”. It contains all the documents necessary for the stay:
- first week schedule
- social activities in Perpignan
- ALFMED district map to show all facilities
- Accommodation rules – WIFI codes
- practical information and maps of the region
- all social activities carried out by ALFMED as well as the selection of cultural events in the city are displayed on the ALFMED Facebook
- ALFMED students use WHATSAPP groups to interact 24/7 with ALFMED ERASMUS team
ORAL CV WORKSHOP in French
Preparation of the student for the first meeting with the company. The essential points for the oral presentation are made with our internship tutor during a 2-hour workshop. At the end, students have a mock interview with ALFMED staff: personal information, language skills, academic and professional background, motivation and expectations, advice on French culture and intercultural communication…
Once a month we organize a SKILLS#Eu workshop among Erasmus+ students so that they can experiment and practice multicultural communication, a cool experience to break the ice!

The second day at the Academy: Internship meeting and city tour
Internship appointment: ALFMED staff brings the intern to the host company for the internship interview with the mentor. The interview allows a valuable informative contact with the Mentor of the company: presentation of the intern, definition of the working conditions: tasks and mutual expectations, calendars and schedules, dress code for the internship, short visit of the company…
