"The ERASMUSCORES project is promoted by the society of regional development ""Alcores Development, s.l."" which is an instrumental body of the municipalities of Carmona, Viso del Alcor and Mairena del Alcor, which from 1993 decided to join forces to apply for programs and projects related to the improvement of living and working conditions of their towns.It is important to remark that improving the mobility of young graduates is consistent with the strategy which it is seeked to establish in the region. In fact, it becomes an unmet need of the population which increasingly requires the use of the necessary language skills in order to do their job, for which we consider the ERASMUS + program more than effective, raising the question to the category of ""CORE VALUE "", hence the name ""ERASMUSCORES"".Specifically, the project has been coordinated by the office of Carmona Alcores Development (consortium coordinator), since it is in this town where the headquarters of the Institutes with professional training certificate cycles, are capable of granting professional certificates to students once they attend the appropriate training cycles, are located. Specifically, the Institutes participating in the project are: IES Arrabal and IES Maese Rodrigo. Another partner organisation of the Consortium was the Local Autonomous Municipal Centre Organisation of Comprehensive Training of the town of Carmona, which awards professional certificates for Training Courses by the official approval of the Town Council of Andalusia which awards certificates for the training which it gives: Public Health service to people dependent on social institutions and Public Health service to people living at home, as well the Tourism Module of the Employment Workshop. Unfortunately, none of the students were interested in participating in the programme. Taking into account the sending partners who sent students abroad to do an internship, the project areas have been as follows: Kitchen and Gastronomy, Restoration services, administrative management and machining. ERASMUSCORES has been aimed at 22 young people between 20 and 42 years old who were attending any of the training programs offered by these training centres. These 22 young people have had the opportunity to have a 3 -9 month long mobility experience (depending of the flow) in quality companies in one of the countries selected (Ireland, Italy and Portugal). This has not only been a professional experience, but it has been a life experience which enables young people to develop competencies and new social skills.To support the project consortium in the organization and monitoring of placements in the destination countries, Fomento has collaborated with intermediary members, who have extensive experience in working with these types of participants: EUROYOUTH, Lisbon (Portugal) , PARTNERSHIP INTERNATIONAL, Cork (Ireland) and AEF, Florence (Italy). Furthermore, both the coordinator (Fomento) and the OAL have made available to the participants the industrial estates which are located in Carmona, El Viso del Alcor and Mairena del Alcor: the Pilero Industrial Park and Industrial Estate Brenes and Logistics Park in Carmona, Poliviso and Santa Isabel in the second municipality and Gandúl and Trocha in Mairena del Alcor.ERASMUSCORES has used a comprehensive method of monitoring all activities of the project in all its phases through follow up emails and phone calls, and has evaluated all interested parties by means of questionnaires and formal and informal evaluative meetings."

"The ERASMUSCORES II project was submitted by a partnership leaded by the society of regional development ""Alcores Development, sl"" which is an instrumental body of the municipalities of Carmona, Viso del Alcor and Mairena del Alcor, which from 1993 decided to join forces to apply for programs and projects related to the improvement of living and working conditions of their towns.The rest of the partners are: The OAL, IES ARRABAL, IES MAESE RODRIGO and IES LOS ALCORES. As to the overall objective of the project has been, above all, to promote the employability of young people in Carmona and allow higher labor integration through the region thanks to an improvement in their professional qualifications through labor, social and cultural experience.To achieve this fundamental objective, the consortium established a number of specific objectives, which were:- To achieve a specialization of the participants based on their training and work experience through quality companies directly related to their professional profiles.- To improve language skills in a second European language.- To answer the labor demand of the industries served.- To encourage entrepreneurship and self-employment.- To create synergies between public and private actors in the municipalities for the promotion of youth employment and training of quality.- To promote equal opportunities for young people in rural and urban areas, between men and women and between immigrants who perform work in conditions little respecting human dignity.ERASMUSCORES II sectors have been therefore those that dealt with professional families of cycles taught at various institutions of the consortium:- Machinery, Administrative Management, Training facilities Electrotechnical equipment, Cooking and Gastronomy and Catering, among others.ERASMUSCORES was aimed at 19 young people (unfortunately a grant was nor finally covered) between 18 and 30 years old who were attending any of the training programs offered by these training centers. These 19 young people had the opportunity to have a 3 month long mobility experience in quality companies in one of the countries selected (Italy, Ireland, France and Portugal). There was established two different flows: September 2016 and February 2017. This has not only been a professional experience, but also it has been a life experience which enabled young people to develop competencies and new social skills.To support the project consortium in the organization and monitoring of placements in the destination countries, Fomento has collaborated with intermediary members, who had extensive experience in working with these types of participants: EUROYOUTH, Lisbon (Portugal) , PARTNERSHIP INTERNATIONAL, Cork (Ireland), AEF, Florence (Italy), and CAP ULYSSE, Burdeos (Francia). Besides the intermediary partners, ERASMUSCORES II counted also on host companies where participants could make their practices. These partners provided the internship to young people and offered them a training program tailored to their profile and career prospects. Besides they certified this experience through the europass and company certificate."

The project GUADALAJARA EN EUROPA+, has been promoted from the town council of Guadalajara through the Youth Centre (Department of Youth). The town council of Guadalajara, aware of the importance of young people in the life and future of the city, stated the necessity of concentrating its efforts on them. It’s for that reason that the town council believed it indispensable to offer young people quality training which was complemented with a training stay in another country in the EU. It provided them with the necessary competencies and abilities for their personal enrichment and professional future.With this premise, the town council of Guadalajara, set-up a consortium with 3 Educative Institutions from the city so that they unified efforts in favour of the young people from the local area and worked together on this project in a collaborative way. These institutions have been: IES José Luis Sampedro, IES Buero Vallejo and IES Aguas Vivas. The Consortium created offered 19 young people between the ages of 17 and 35 years old, the possibility of undertaking a training period of 90 days in a hosting organisation in an EU country. The participants were recently qualified. All the participants undertook a linguistic training course at the destination lasting one week during the first days of the stay simultaneously with the internship. The stays have been between January and April 2016.GUADALAJARA EN EUROPA+ had the support of international organisations which helped us in the monitoring and management of the training in each one of the country’s involved in the project: United Kingdom (Belfast), Ireland (Cork), Italy (Padua and Florence) and Austria (Vienna).The main activities carried out have been:- Publicity campaign for the project- Receiving of applications- Process of selection of candidates- Preparatory meetings, linguistic training during the first week of the stay simultaneously with the practical training- January – April 2016: Period of training stays.

They have stayed in telephone contact and through email and they have met-up regularly in order to study the course of the project, providing solutions to possible problems and be able to apply corrective actions when it was necessary. The sending and receiving organisations have worked together in producing some of the training programs adapted to each participant. The intermediary and receiving organisations have monitored and evaluated the participants and have ensured the compliance with all of the established agreements. There has been constant contact between the International organisations and the coordinator of the project.The evaluation of the stays have included the questionnaires sent to the participants by email, the evaluations of the participants on the part of the international organisations, as well as the intern’s evaluations of the participating organisations.The impact on the participants is related to the improvement in TIC´s and linguistic knowledge, better professionalism, better social skills and cultural knowledge, etc. Additionally, in the participating organisations the impact has been positive due to the enrichment which it provides to work with European organisations, being able to learn new methods from them which they will be able to apply to their own organisations.Some of the long-term benefits will be: greater quality of the educative system, development of the entrepreneurial culture, innovation in the different sectors, development of new technologies, increase in the awareness of European citizenship etc.
