Accredited projects for mobility of learners and staff are implemented by organisations holding an Erasmus accreditation. Each accredited project represents a step in the implementation of the organisation's long-term Erasmus Plan.

"<< Background >>As a company, Airbus demands mobility, flexibility and support from its employees in the further internationalization of our company. This goal is so essential for the success of the company that it is even explicitly reflected in the vision of vocational training (see ""Training vision"").The key to success is the employees - this includes the trainees in particular, as they are the future of Airbus. The course must therefore already be set during training. On the one hand, this includes raising awareness of mobility, well-founded preparation, but also practical experience of intercultural cooperation. For this reason, the ""Mobility 4 Airbus Apprentices"" (M4AA) program has become an integral part of vocational training, which has gained in importance in recent years and is supported and valued by top management in all partner countries.<< Objectives >>Mobility plays an important role at Airbus, the importance of which has increased significantly in the last 10 years and will continue to increase. For this reason, the program, which was originally launched under the name ""Intercultural Competencies Programme"", was renamed ""Mobility 4 Airbus Apprentices"" (M4AA). Airbus would like to bring the meaning of ""being mobile and flexible"" closer to the trainees in this way. After your stay abroad, you have made your first personal developments that will shape your further professional career. Airbus expects them to be courageous, to get involved with the local conditions, to use the professionally well-supervised stay abroad to get used to other cultures (at work and in their free time) and also to represent their country on site, i.e. theirs too Becoming aware of their responsibility, that of course they too will leave a cultural impression on their colleagues abroad.Mobility does not just mean making the young adults physically mobile, but above all mentally, i.e. creating a mindset for openness and flexibility.<< Implementation >>The four steps of the M4AA program are divided into an intercultural basic training ""Cultural Awareness Training"", one-week team events ""International Teamwork"" (in Germany, UK or France, ""Learning Abroad"" and ""Exchange your experience"", which represents the follow-up. Due to the Pandemic, the participants were selected and prepared according to the project description. The stay also went as described. The follow-up took place in individual discussions. The feedback was forwarded to all people involved.The Mobility 4 Airbus Apprentices (M4AA) program specifically addresses cultural diversity as the program includes apprentices from all Airbus locations. This diversity and the exchange between the different cultures is particularly encouraged during the M4AA program, as participants from different international locations interact with each other and work together on site in international teams. In addition, the shared accommodation of the trainees promotes language and cultural exchange as well as physical and mental mobility.<< Results >>We cannot speak / report here about the achievement of goals and results, since the program was stopped in March 2020 due to the pandemic."

"Airbus is an international aviation company, formed and founded in 1970 out of a consortium of different aviation companies from Germany, France, UK and Spain. Nowadays, being part of the Airbus Group (former EADS), it is one of the most successful aircraft producers worldwide. Therefore, it is not surprising that one global goal of Airbus is to foster an ""open-door"" culture and diversity, to create a performance-driven and motivating work environment, which is determined by respect and fairness in which each and every single employee can contribute his or her part to the success of the company.Within the Airbus Group there are around 100 different nations speaking more than 20 different languages - this is what ""truly international"" means.The Mobility 4 Airbus Apprentices (M4AA) Programme is especially focusing on cultural diversity as well as mobility as a mindset by targetting apprentices from all four Airbus locations. This diversity, as well as the exchange between cultures and languages is encouraged through cross-cultural team activities.For more than 10 years now, Airbus has been sending abroad more than 50 apprentices per year in order to complete parts of their apprenticeship at one of our partner sites. The target group for this program is huge, ranging from aircraft mechanics over electronic technicians and material testers towards process engineers for composite materials.The M4AA Programme is organized into four steps. Step01 is the so called Basic, which is a one-day seminar on culture and intercultural competence. Step02 is a one- to two week team event either in Germany, France or UK, Step03, ""Learning Abroad"" provides apprentices with the opportunity to spend part of their formation abroad and Step04 ""Show your Mobility experience"" is the very final step of the programme and represents the reflektion phase - thus, it is an obligatory part for all participants of step02 and 03.Thanks to the strong cooperation between the M4AA programme coordinators, nationally as well as transnationally, a smooth project management and clearly defined work packages for all people involved can be guaranteed. This is, among others, the result of years of experience in the exchange of young adults.On the long-run, it is the M4AA's goal to prepare all Airbus employees as best as possible for the increasing internationalization of markets, the need for mobility and flexibility and the growth of cross-border relationships as well as for the requirements, that are needed when working in a transnational company such as Airbus.The Mobility 4 Airbus Apprentices (M4AA) Programme is therefore, a crucial component of the vision for the upcoming years and decades and is one essential part of Vocational Training that will keep Airbus one step ahead of competition. We prepare our apprentices today for the challenges of tomorrow in order to remain the number one aircraft producer in the world."
