The project was intended to graduate school to give the opportunity to look abroad if there were employment opportunities. During the project it became clear that the numbers for this group were not met. There were plenty of places and work abroad, but reaching the young people who also have the opportunity to go 2 weeks on labor market survey proved difficult. There are several presentations to classes that were just before graduation, but this saw it as vacation than as an opportunity to go to work. In addition, with the municipality of Leeuwarden and the UWV looked for opportunities to reach young people, this has not led to the desired result.With Boundless Arts, an organization that mediates jobs and internships abroad, worked together to let people go to France to see if there is seasonal work could be found. After a long search, there are ultimately three recent graduates went to Perpignan which one is going to also work in the season. The preparation consisted of hiring and language training site.In November 2015, the target group of the project in consultation with the NA broadened to also graduate students who were in school. Eventually, there have been 10 graduates and 29 graduate officers on labor market exploration.There are some groups went to Malta there to explore the labor market or to work on a project as part of the Capital of Culture in 2018. One of the participants found a job in Malta and has worked there more than one year. The others have been working mainly on improving language, English, and getting to know the culture in Malta.For water sports students from the CIOS there were three possibilities, Mallorca, Pescara and Malta. Mallorca and Pescara have the students experience at a school where the SUP Suppen at sea was a new experience, which increases their chances of employment in the rest of Europe. In addition, various events are supported by the students with whom they have built up an international network for their future career. One of the students has his experience in Mallorca found a job in Tarifa (Spain). In Malta, the focus was on the further development of the English language and the SUP sport.There are also three students went to Berlin after completion of their studies, there have been talks with potential employers and they all have a language course to improve their chances on the labor market there and in the Netherlands.For recent graduates with the opportunity to go abroad on employment exploration is much effort required to disclose the possibility. The relative obscurity leads to many questions. Which only after a lot of calls resulting in a final mobility.

The project DIGIT– Digital Innovation in Training – is addressed to 100 students attending the ultimate and pen-ultimate year of secondary school in the Province of Macerata and it aims at strengthening, within their educational and training path, the use of innovative and flexible methodologies, in order to link school preparation with practical activities, through the experience of transnational mobility. This initiative is promoted by the Chamber of Commerce of Macerata and it aims at developing the participants’ technical-professional and transversal competences in the sector of Digital innovation. The project meets therefore the strategy of EUROPE 2020 and, in particular, the European and Italian Agenda wishing to utilize the potential of ITC technology in order to support innovation, economic growth and progress. The development of digital competencies is fundamental for ensuring that young people are able to access the modern job market and for allowing them a full participation and inclusion in today’s digital society. The project is based on the innovative and involving method of alternation of education and training and it answers the needs of the targeted students. In fact, recent research showed that, despite the numerous advancement of the modern school system, newly graduated high school students are often not prepared to approach the job market because they:- possess basic skills and competencies but lack technical and operative skills usable in the job market;- show a natural incline towards digital and web technology, but they are not “digital competent”, that is their knowledge of digital technology is not adequate to a work context; - show a general lack of confidence in their possibilities and dissatisfaction with the work environment, which is felt more acutely in this period of crisis;- have transversal competences (team work, communication skills, problem solving attitude), but only tried in the school environment;- have a limited knowledge of the local production system due to the absence of a true contact with the labour market.The mobility experience will be preceded by a thorough linguistic, cultural, pedagogical and sectorial preparation (25 hour distance language training, propaedeutic seminars, orientation to job market or university, 1 module on labour law and work safety, 1 open day with local companies). This preparation will sustain future choices and encourage participation in innovative training experiences, open to a European context. The training process will be organized according to individual Learning Agreement that will be structured in terms of learning outcomes, in order to facilitate their recognition trough the ECVET system. The work experience will last three weeks, between May and November 2015, and take place in companies in England, Ireland, Germany, Sweden, Belgium, Poland and Malta. During the work placements the participants will be able to integrate the theoretical contents of their educational programme with competencies and technical skills better suited to the demands of the job market, also in an European context. The following results are expected:- development of technical and professional competencies, in respect to the chosen sectors and according to a recognised, certified and validated path;- improvement in accessing the job market, thanks to a better understanding of the local economic structure; - promotion of training programmes aiming to improve the quality of employment and long life learning;- support to the adoption of principles and methods of ECVET (MoU and Learning Agreement) when planning educational paths.Another element of strenght of the project DIGIT is the VET National Consortium, that includes key actors of the educational and training system, as well as associations and companies that operates in the sector of digital innovation, all wishing to improve the sinergy between training and workplace, in order to increase the opportunities for young people to access the job market. The project, therefore, will strive to pose the basis for a stable cooperation of the partnership, aiming at overcoming the fragmentation still existing in the sector of education, training and job services.
