  • The Erasmus experience of this centre The Friedrich Hecker School (FHS) has gained extensive and valuable experience through a wide range of Erasmus+ mobility activities involving both staff and students. These activities have strengthened international cooperation, professional development, and intercultural exchange. FHS has hosted job-shadowing visits from Spanish colleagues from Seville, Valencia, and Madrid, providing opportunities for professional exchange and insight into the German vocational education system. In return, FHS teachers participated in job-shadowing programs in Ireland, while one FHS colleague completed a professional training course in Finland, further enhancing pedagogical and technical expertise. Student mobility has been a key component of the Erasmus+ program at FHS. Students completed internships at Volkswagen in Bratislava, gaining hands-on experience in an international industrial environment. Additionally, two students from Spain undertook internships at FHS, working both in the automotive workshop and in a local company in Sinsheim. The school also welcomed visiting carpenters from Ireland, fostering exchange in the field of woodworking and craftsmanship. Group mobility activities included student exchanges to Hradec Králové in the Czech Republic, as well as group mobility for FHS carpentry students to Ireland.

Organisation Description

As part of the Center for Vocational Schools in Sinsheim, the Friedrich Hecker School is the largest of the three schools, educating around 900 students with approximately 65 teachers under the authority of the Rhein-Neckar district. The school focuses primarily on dual vocational training in cooperation with regional craft and industrial companies, particularly in the fields of metal, automotive, process, construction, and wood technology. Modern workshops ensure a strong combination of theoretical and practical training. In addition, the school offers a one-year vocational school program that combines classroom instruction with weekly internships.

Another key pillar of the Friedrich Hecker School is its full-time educational programs, including pre-vocational training, vocational schools, technical colleges, and a technical high school, all leading to higher educational qualifications. Students can earn qualifications ranging from a lower secondary school certificate to the Abitur. For skilled professionals, the school also provides advanced training opportunities, such as becoming a state-certified construction technician or completing master craftsman courses. Located in the heart of the Kraichgau region, the Friedrich Hecker School actively supports young people in shaping their future and that of the region.
