1 hr confidence: 
Refresher course Explanation: Could this be referring to some kind of refresher course for someone who has been away from the profession for a while, or to update knowledge of new technology, terminology, methods etc.? If so, does the original state what exactly was being refreshed? |

career development course Explanation: as I send in my comment... isn't it (probably) to do with skills not longer being needed? ... so building on "transferable skills"? And the equivalent Anglo-Saxon euphemism is therefore "career development". You have no career any more my friend. About time you developed one. |

reorientation course Explanation: Too obvious? Or maybe not. In the absence of more context it fits the bill. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 heures (2014-05-30 18:40:22 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Zero context. If no other information is given or available the only choice is a literal translation. "Reorientation" is equally valid in French and English, so why not use it it? Gallicism - I don't really think so, and, if so, so what? Reference: http://www.phoenix-alliance.biz/is-professional-reorientatio... |

observational internship/career exploration internship Explanation: Here are some links for ''stage de réorientation": Quand il devient difficile de poursuivre une année de formation malengagée et que l’étudiant est amené à envisager une réorientation qui ne pourra pas se faire avant la rentrée suivante, il peut mettre à profit c temps disponible, pour effectuer un stage en entreprise afin de découvrir un métier ou un monde professionnel sans rapport avec sa formation initiale. Objectif Le stage de réorientation est un outil qui s’inscrit dans un processus d’ accompagnement par le SIO de l’étudiant en difficulté par rapport à ses études et souhaitant une réorientation. L’objectif est de lui permettre de réaliser un stage professionnel dans un domaine qui ne correspond pas à celui de sa formation actuelle. Ce stage doit aider l'étudiant à construire un nouveau projet de formation. http://orientation.u-bourgogne.fr/images/stories/pdf/reorien... Dernière pierre à l'édifice, les élèves qui souhaitent éventuellement changer de cursus peuvent effectuer un stage de réorientation. "L'idée est de permettre aux étudiants hésitant à s'engager dans tel ou tel secteur de se confronter à une réalité professionnelle", explique Carole Accolas. http://www.letudiant.fr/etudes/fac/portrait-de-fac-l-univers... In English: What are the goals of an Observational Internship?
