The Project ‘RE-NERGY- Building the sustainable economy’ tried to meet the training needs of the industrial productive sectors of Alessandria Province (in Piedmont), in order to support the relaunch of the local territory economy, especially with relation to the export sector, through the development of internationalization, environmental sustainability and processes digitalization. The project has thus implemented actions aimed at promoting the development of new technical skills, as well as improving the learners’ ability to interact in a foreign language, preparing themselves for international environments; experience new cultural and social contexts to increase their flexibility and willingness to change; it also promoted actions aimed at improving autonomy, self-confidence, responsibility and organization, in order to foster their own entrepreneurship.The participants were 110 students of 5 High Schools of Alessandria Province; they had completed the fourth and penultimate year of fields of study related to the Maintenance and technical assistance, Electronics and Electrotechnics, ITC, Mechanics, Mechatronics and Energy, Chemistry and Biotechnology. During the two years of mobility (summer 2015 and 2016), there have been organized work placements in: United Kingdom (4 groups), Estonia (2 groups), Czech Republic (1 group) and Spain (1 group). The mobilty abroad has involved, after a first phase of language preparation and cultural integration, 4 weeks of work placement. The specific contents and the learning outcomes have been determined according to the fields of study, enabling the schools to acknowledge the mobility as School-Work Alternance and in the formal school education, consistently with the implementation of ECVET procedures. On the basis of specific agreements with partners, it was possible to transform the learning outcomes into school credits, and to issue the Europass Mobility Document.At a local level, the dialogue between the school and the world of work has been strengthened to improve the mutual acknowledgement and the concrete portability of the qualifications through shared certification instruments. Furthermore, the training of technicians able to be responsive to the work dynamics is likely to constitute an added value to the policies which have been started locally to redevelop the territory and fight the unemployment. The final feedbacks of all the subject who take part to the mobility (learners, families, sending institutions, teachers, group leaders, foreign partner, and local stakeholders) confirmed the good outcome of the Project, which has reached its goals in a satisfactory way.
