"CHS, Centrum Humanberuflicher Schulen des Bundes Villach, is a secondary vocational school providing higher education entrance qualification and comprises the following specializations: - Höhere Lehranstalt für wirtschaftliche Berufe (business administration)- Höhere Lehranstalt für Kommunikation und Mediendesign (communication and media)- Höhere Lehranstalt für Kunst und Gestaltung (arts)- Höhere Lehranstalt für Modedesign und Grafik (fashion design)Within the project ""CHS all around Europe"" 28 CHS students completed their internship in various EU countries. The duration depended on the students' specialisation and varied between four and twelve weeks. All mobilities took place between 1 June and 27 September 2015. The receiving organisations were located in the UK, Italy, Malta, Germany, Norway, Belgium and Romania. They were both long time partners of the sending organisation as well as new contacts thanks to the students' initiative.25 of the students participating in the 2015 CHS project attend the specialisation ""Höhere Lehranstalt für wirtschaftliche Berufe"", i. e. business administration and have a solid education in business, foreign languages, tourism and management. Three participants specialising in fashion design did their four-week internship in a fashion institute in Milan, respectively in a tailoring company in Bucharest. Their education at CHS includes collection development and computer graphics. In the course of the project the 28 participating students developed knowledge, skills and competences that qualify them for the following professions: restaurant management assistant and dressmaker.All professional experiences gathered during the mobility activities were assessed, validated and accredited in the interchange between participants, receiving organisations and CHS. Therefore we applied the following ECVET documents: Learning Agreement, Memorandum of Understanding and Personal Transcript. Furthermore, the Europass Mobility document was issued for all 28 participants.As a secondary vocational school in the heart of the Alps-Adriatic region and located in the boarder area between Slovenia, Italy and Austria, CHS Villach is aiming at combining the theoretical and practical education of our students with professional training in a broader European context. CHS puts great emphasis on an education towards a sense of European citizenship and identity. The project ""CHS all around Europe"" aimed at creating a network across different sectors - private, institutional/professional (schools and enterprises) and intercultural. The mobility activities of our students were clearly characterised through their orientation towards precise learning outcomes in the students' respective specialisations (see above) and most of all the sustainability of their results. Hereby ""CHS all around Europe"" wanted to spark the students' passion for Lifelong Learning."

"The project “S.E.E.D.S. - Strengthening knowlEdge and compEtences to Develop new Skills ""(2018-1-IT01-KA102-006370) was developed by UNCI Agroalimentare with the help of the national Consortium and its varied foreign partnership. Agri-food and Tourism, Trade and Marketing, represented the reference sectors of the project and its VET actions. The project actions were aimed at 111 young graduates from school curricula related to the sectors above mentioned: Agriculture, Agri-food and Agro-industry; Administration, Finance and Marketing, Tourism, Food and Wine Services, and Hotel Hospitality. The mobility experiences promoted were long-term (4 months - ErasmusPro). In total, 52 male and 59 female candidates, aged between 19 and 22, were selected, coming from different Italian regions: Campania, Veneto, Tuscany, Puglia, Basilicata, Calabria, Emilia-Romagna, Lombardy, Liguria, Sicily, Molise and Marche. The training activities developed under the form of an internship in host companies chosen on the VET learners’ specific features (aptitude, as well as professional needs).The objectives and impacts achieved by “S.E.E.D.S.” were the following:- consolidation of an organized and defined VET cooperation made up of the right social actors (VET schools, public authorities, trade associations) capable of supporting young people in their accessing the labor market.- implementation of 111 mobility experiences in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Belgium, Malta, and Spain, for the enhancement of technical-scientific skills relating to the professional sectors of reference (100% of internships, in fact, were perfectly in line with the profile of the selected participants).- growth in the employability level of the young graduates who took part in the mobility (15% of beneficiaries entered the labor market following their Erasmus internship by securing a job position either in their host companies or new businesses belonging to the same professional sectors).- enrichment of linguistic and managerial skills for the Consortium members and all the representatives engaged in the project design and implementation; improvement of the language skills of direct participants through the OLS platform (more than 95% of learners declared an improved language knowledge in a second European language).- acquisition of more in-depth knowledge about the European funding mechanisms (many consortium schools, during the months of management of ""S.E.E.D.S."", participated in the Erasmus+ Program for the promotion of initiatives related to Key Action 1 - Mobility for school staff; UNCI Agroalimentare itself has obtained the Accreditation to the new Erasmus 2020-2027 Program under the Key Action 1 to continue supporting the mobility of VET Learners.- greater integration of the operating systems of different organizations related to VET with the aim of increasing the quality of training courses and feeding pedagogical research activities (the foreign receiving organizations were able to better investigate the management dynamics underlying the Learning Outcomes monitoring, evaluation and recognition mechanisms; on the other hand, the companies hosting the internships gave its internal teams a crucial contribution towards their internationalization)."
