<< Background >>The school (ZS3) would like to maintain its leading position on the market of educational services in Wrocław and offer the highest quality of vocational education to its graduates. We understand that in order to achieve this, it is necessary to use all opportunities, especially those which (like this project) offer a direct impact on the development of skills, knowledge and attitudes in the vocational field of our students. We would like the possibility of international internships to be an element of constant education for our best students, thanks to which every other student will also try much harder to obtain the best possible results in education and have the opportunity to participate in the international internship.We would like to create Project Team which should consist of our teachers. We want to build the potential of our staff and the ability to implement more European projects by our teachers.<< Objectives >>We would like to achieve the following main goals: 1. Better preparation for entering the labor market for 30 ZS3 students by increasing the vocational, linguistic and social competences and vocational mobility of the project participants. 2. Increasing the potential of ZS3 for the implementation of international projects by strengthening teachers' know-how and increasing experience in the practical implementation of international projects. 3. Improving the quality of pre-departure trainings for participants of international internships by developing new procedures for creating trainings for mobility and monitoring. 4. Increasing the quality of international internships through better and direct cooperation with host organizations.5. Increase of social and soft competences, understanding of EU values, respect for other cultures and personal development of project participants. In addition, the project is to increase the potential of the ZS3, especially in the international aspect.<< Implementation >>The project involves the preparation and implementation of monthly professional internships for 30 students from professions: landscape architecture - 4, nutrition and catering services - 8, hotel industry - 8, organization of tourism - 10. The school intends to carry out activities informing about the project for all 3rd and 4th grade students (10.2021). Recruitment (11.2021), preparatory trainings (12.2021-03.2022) internships (01.04–08.05.2022), dissemination and evaluation activities (05-11.2022), including a summary conference during the European Skills Week 2022 (most likely during 11.2022). An intermediary organization from Italy - IFOM will support the school. It will be responsible for: organizing local transport, accommodation, cultural program (trips to Venice and Florence), suitable quality hosting companies, safe stay (mentoring during the stay, emergency number to the IFOM employee active non-stop), support in the evaluation of activities.<< Results >>We assume the achievement of intangible results: Increase in competences, vocational mobility, change in attitudes and tolerance of 30 ZS3 students; development of know-how in the field of European projects implementation by at least 5 ZS3 teachers (members of the project team); increase in the implementation potential of ZS3 development projects;direct cooperation with min. 3 host organizations; creating procedures for the implementation of independent foreign mobility projects (by the ZS3 project team).The tangible results of the project: Procedures for improving the training programmes and specific exercises in English that we will test during pre-departure trainings and will receive the highest recommendation from students after completed mobility. We will introduce them to educational activities for other students (at least 2 such exercises / teaching methods); project documents - partnership agreements, regulations; evaluation report with suggestions of changes for the future.

MOVINVET is a consortium of vocational training centers in the province of Seville that has been working together since 2014.MOVINVET is a mobility program for staff and students in the second year of intermediate vocational training cycles.In this edition, 39 mobilities for students have been developed for trainees in Italy, Lithuania, Poland and the United Kingdom.8 weeks in different European cities such as Cesena, Forlí, Vilna, Wroclaw and Derry.These are complementary internships to the VET Professional Training degree. Internships are complemented by an intense intercultural training developed before departure.It is a multisectoral project, with a wide variety of professional profiles.The objective: to increase the possibilities of quality labor insertion, language learning, intercultural training and life experience11 mobilities of staff have been developed in Bologna (Italy) in order to know in depth on the one hand the ECVET system and its possibilities in the centers of origin of the project. And on the other hand, to analyze the mechanisms and instruments that the Italian educational system has for the integration of disadvantaged groups.In this new edition of the project, the novelties have been:- 3 new sending centers- Increase in the number of mobilities, because of the greater interest in the centers and the greater number of sending organizations.- Some internal improvements, mainly in the management of the project and in the preparation of the participants as well as adding the intercomprehension as formative content.The consortium is led by Colegio Altair, and includes the following centers:IES HeliópolisIES Virgen de los Reyes IES Federico Mayor ZaragozaIES Albert EinsteinEFA El ChatóEnseñantes del ArenalCES María InmaculadaCAED Carlos Espigares Centro del Profesorado de SevillaThe project aim is to develop an international dimension of the centers, to offer the possibility of international practices, to promote language learning, and to consider the implementation of ECVET system.

PROXIMA ESTACIÓN: EUROPA is a project promoted by the VET school IES ALMUDEYNE, located in the small rural town of Los Palacios y Villafranca (province of Seville, Spain). The project’s aims: • To strengthen and expand the internationalization of the centre. • To offer new activities to VET students with profound impact on their learning pathway and on the quality of their training. • To acquire skills for a successful implementation of the DUAL system in the centre. The main activities of the projects are: 1. Long-term mobilities (15 weeks) to Ireland, Italy or Poland for 10 students who have just completed the EFQ level 3 of Administrative Management and EFQ level 3 of Microcomputer Systems and Networks. They will do an internship in a foreign company to improve their employability on the Labour Market. 2. Short-term mobilities (2 weeks) to Italy for 5 students of EQF level 2 in Computing and Communications. They will a training experience in a different VET school in order to broaden their training and world view, thus fighting the abandonment early school. 3. Job-shadowing to Germany for 3 staff members (teachers and management team) with the aim of visiting a VET school where the DUAL training system is offered and thus be able to acquire and learn new instruments, methodologies and techniques for a successful implementation. The main results of the project are the increase of the technical, professional, linguistic, social and cultural competences of the participants and strengthening the relations between the VET school and the European business / organizational partners. In the long term, IES ALMUDEYNE expect to consolidate an stable mobility program, since the educational community will raise awareness of the importance and benefits of having a broad European dimension.

"The project “JAÉN+: Formación Profesional con Plus en Europa” is an initiative of the Provincial Council of Jaén, which acts as promoter and principal beneficiary, together with 10 educational institutions in the province (from 7 to 10 after an expansion of partners of the consortium in the 1st amendment). Furthermore, the Provincial Council collaborates with the Delegación Provincial de Educación de la Junta de Andalucía (Education Regional Ministry) to make “Jaén+”, with a mid term view and after consecutive future projects, a provincial project for the improvement of personal, professional and linguistic skills of the students of middle-level training program and those with training leading to obtaining certificates of professional qualification of level 2. The main objective is the increase of their employability in the provincial labour market. Thanks to this international mobility, students will be able to carry out professional internships in companies of Europe, both in training in work centres (FCT) and extracurricular internships. For that reason, the mobility of graduates is prioritised.After an analysis of the labour demand of the provincial companies and those professions with greater perspectives (where there is a need for the development of linguistic and personal competences –autonomy, conflict resolution, maturity…-) together with an analysis of the educative offer in professional training centres, the professional groups which will be the core of the project were identified: Plastic sector; Administrative management; Administration and finance; Trade and marketing; Electricity and electronics; Computing; Communications; Nurse assistant; Kitchen and catering.The project was approved with a total of 70 mobilities of 9 weeks to the following destinations: Germany, Italy, Lithuania, Poland and the United Kingdom. Both the number of requests (36) and the effective mobilities (19) were lower; principally due to fears and lack of referents in the rural context of the potential participants and their families (17 of the 36 requests were abandoned or renounced before the mobility). These results should be contextualized as a first step in the mid-term improvement towards the change of awareness about the opportunities of the professional training internationalization, taking into account that in a province where there is a majority of rural municipalities, they are traditionally isolated and lack of habits and awareness about these kinds of competitive opportunities.Precisely for this reason, high quality mobilities have been made for the satisfaction of these first participants, as they are the fundamental base for the growth of participants in future projects. After a common selection process in all the centres through public call for selection of participants and grants; that was previously agreed in the Mobility Committee created by the Provincial Council and all partner centres for this purpose, and according to the project presented, different training and complementary activities have been developed: -Informative seminar for applicants, previous to the mobility, with the collaboration of Provincial Counsellor EURES, that will inform both about the project and the professional mobility opportunities in Europe;-Previous intensive training both on-site and online for the beneficiaries, financed by the Provincial Council’s own funds: linguistics (English); intercultural; and information about Erasmus+ and practical issues about each destination;-Concluding round after the mobility, about job orientation and entrepreneurship, with technical staff from the Área de Emeplo de Diputación y Provincial Counsellor EURES, in which students have received provincial resources in order to make an active search of employment, together with information about the support lines of the Provincial Council of Jaén, both for the entrepreneurial and companies for the recruitment of qualified staff (see in Área de Empleo, Diputación de Jaén https://www.dipujaen.es/conoce-diputacion/areas-organismos-empresas/areaJ ). In its idea of continuity, the Provincial Council has opted for this program by making available a series of human resources to the project (previous hiring of a technician), own materials and economic, that have complemented the funding received from ERASMUS+. This continuity has been achieved with a second ERASMUS+ project, approved in the 2017 call: “JAÉN+II: FP con Plus en Europa"" (2017 – 1 – KA102 - 036871), in which it can be appreciated both the high level of satisfaction achieved by the participants and the results of the dissemination in the incorporation of 28 centres to the new consortium.More information about “JAÉN+” in: https://www.dipujaen.es/conoce-diputacion/areas-organismos-empresas/areaJ/proyectos-europeos/jaen-plus/ , with links to news, partners websites, call for papers, files and videos about the project and participant’s experiences."
