"""E.A.S.Y. VET - Experiences Abroad for Staff and Young graduates in VET"", promoted by Essenia UETP, has foreseen the carrying out of: N°70 mobilities lasting 122 days (120 of traineeship and 2 of travel) addressed to recent graduates that have performed a traineeship in companies located in: United Kingdom, Spain and Ireland; No. 20 mobilities lasting 14 days (12 of training and 2 of travel) addressed to the staff of VET Institutes and organizations. They have carried out the jobshadowing in companies located in Spain. The professional sectors in which the traineeships and the training/job shadowing activities have been performed are: Tourism Fashion Industry; ICT, Communication&New media; Marketing, Commercial Services, Administration Electronics Mechanics/Mechatronics; Socio-sanitary field; Engineering, Environment&Territory. Therefore, beneficiaries of the mobilities have been, respectively, recent graduates that have obtained the school diploma in one of the aforementioned sectors, and staff members from Institutes, entities and VET organizations operating in those fields. The projects was born to meet the training needs- in terms of practical experience- of recent graduates, and to favour the entry (and the permanence, in the case of the staff) in a globalized labor market that requires the mastery and the updating of knowledge, competences and abilities both sectorial and personal as well as transversal (intercultural, linguistic, IT, entrepreneurial).The needs of the VET world and of the job market have been noticed by Essenia UETP starting from the debates occurred during the informative and training meeting that the company periodically realizes at National level. The analysis made highlighted the need of implementing actions of transnational mobility for strengthening and updating competences, both of recent graduates and staff, in the sectors identified in the project. The sectors chosen are: extremely relevant for the Italian economy (tourism, fashion, commerce), constantly increasing (ICT, electronics/electrotechnics, marketing), and in which the request of specific competences has grown (social field, environment and territory). Objectives of the project were: improve the technical and professional skills of new graduates by offering them the opportunity to experiment ""on the field"" what they learned during their school path, by carrying out a traineeship abroad; update the skills of the staff of VET institutions, giving them the opportunity to carry out job shadowing activities within Institutes and companies; reinforce, in both graduates and staff, the EU identity and improve intercultural, linguistic and digital skills, allowing the development of a set of personal and transversal skills indispensable in the current labour market. At the end of the project, there was a positive impact on all participants, in terms of: strengthening of sectorial skills and soft skills, enhancement of the competitiveness of the professional profile and increased opportunities of job inclusion. The carrying out of the project is part of the internationalization strategy of Essenia UETP, that foresees the implementation and the development of activities aimed at improving the quality and increasing the quantity of transnational mobility projects.Besides the transversal phases of monitoring and dissemination, the project has seen the implementation of the following management activities, carried out according to procedures and methodologies already experimented over the years, and that have guaranteed high quality standards: Information and sensitization; Selection of participants; Linguistic and pedagogical preparation; Logistic and practical organization of mobilities; Evaluation of the Learning Outcomes and of the project; Dissemination of project results. The quality procedures adopted are constantly improved and updated, also thanks to the use of new technologies and to the professional retraining of Essenia UETP’s human resources, that occurs also through the participation in training activities held in the framework of Erasmus+ KA2 projects. Over the years, Essenia UETP has further broadened its already wide network of European partners, identifying entities and companies able to offer mobility experiences meeting high quality standards and preferring, among them, the ones of proved experience. All over the National territory relationships with VET Institutes, public and private entities, companies have been consolidated to assure congruence and coherence between the activities proposed and the needs of the users. At local level, Essenia UETP has enhanced the cooperation with the bodies in charge of implementing the approaches and of adopting European methodologies and tools for the certification and validation of the competences (ECVET), in order to make the formal and informal competences acquired during the mobility more spendable on the labour market"

Administrative and business practices in Europe is a programme which implements the techniques related to Welcoming, Management, Selling and to the New Technologies trough Europe.This programme aims at strengthening the skills and abilities of our students, who are in their last year of studies of a 3-year BTEC National at the vocational school LA RUCHE, following the European Section or a normal degree.It concerns different sections of the tertiary sector: Welcoming, Managing Administrations, Selling and Commerce.This action permits to our students, in a professional field, to adapt to the economic evolution and to perform their linguistic skills. In Aquitaine, the development of the industrial sector, of the services and of the research sector creates new employments which require a really good knowledge and a good command of foreign languages, especially English.The trainees abroad will be able to gain wider professional, specific and international dimension, while improving their mobility and adaptability. This European dimension would enable to create or strenghthen the exchanges between the people, the goods and the services within the companies and the organizations, in the geographical areas of the concerned countries.Our partner, the PARTNERSHIP INTERNATIONAL, located in Cork, Ireland, finds out the different companies and the hosts families. In relation with the teachers of the vocational school La Ruche, both parties try to consolidate the students' language and culture. Together, they negociate the different work placements and the organisation of the whole programme.Cultural activities (theatrical play in English, eTwinning projects, study of the European institutions and visit of the European Parliament, The Europe Day Celebration, cultural visits during the mobility) will help students to raise awareness of the European citizenship concept.This gives an European dimension to our vocational school and permits to link together the management, the teaching team, the educational team and all the students (trainees and others). The diffusion of the project ( posters, websites, exhibitions in our documentation centre) will enhance the achieved work and will contribute to deepen the links with our partners.The 4-week work experience, from 25th September to 20th October 2017 will develop the students' skills in all fields, according to the objectives of their training courses.This work experience will be validated by a EUROPRO attestation and a EUROPASS MOBILITY is taken into account to get the BTEC National with a specific « European Section » distinction on the diploma and the optional exam of mobility. The project will be permanently evaluated (by the tutors, the families, the teachers and the trainees) at each step of the process. Regular assessments will be achieved each week and written in specific forms created by the teaching team. The goal is still to make sure that everything is going well and if necessary, to solve any potential problems.Finally, the work experience will be evaluated in the workplace by a teacher and the tutor, on an academic and official assessment grid.After this European experience, the teachers will analyse and broadcast the conclusions of the project at a regional and national level. Our project benefits from the support of the Regional Council and of the partner companies.

‘S.T.A.R.- Supporting Traineeships Activities abroad’ is a biennial (2018-2020) transnational mobility project that has involved: n. 74 recent graduates (within 12 months from graduation) involved in mobility lasted 120 days (+ 2 travel); n. 2 recent graduates (within 12 months from graduation) involved in short-term mobility lasting 25 days (+2 of travel) and 87 days (+2 of travel) each; n.31 staff members of VET Institutes and organizations, of which: n.30 involved in mobility lasting 12 days (+2 of travel) and n.1 involved in mobility lasting 10 days (+2 of travel). Recent graduates have performed internship experiences in companies located in Spain, United Kingdom and Ireland. Staff of VET Institutes and organizations performed a period of job-shadowing in schools or other relevant organizations active in the VET sector in Spain. S.T.A.R.’s objectives have been: bridging education and the world of work for the professional sectors identified for the traineeships and the job shadowing activities; support people in Europe to gain the skills and experience they need to succeed in today's increasingly internationalized knowledge-based economy; encourage and facilitate a wider participation in the political and social life of the EU. Essenia UETP, project’s Applicant, carried out a demand and needs analysis with the aim to identify the main areas of intervention according to the necessity of develop key-competences, hard and soft skills relevant for employers and for the job market as a whole. The professional sectors identified, both for recent graduates and staff, has been the following: tourism and catering; commercial, marketing, administration and accounting; electronics and electrotechnics, mechanics and mechatronics; social, health and chemical; construction, environment and territory; fashion and textile production; ICT, communication, new media; transport and logistics; agricultural sector; optical sector. These sectors are: growing and/or emerging sectors (i.e. ICT, electronics and electrotechnics, mechanics and mechatronics, marketing); sectors characterizing the Italian national economy (i.e. tourism, fashion, commercial); sectors that require updated skills to meet the technological evolution which is changing both the behavior and the expectations of employers and employees (i.e. social, construction, environment and territory). Recent graduates have performed a traineeship in companies located in: Spain, United Kingdom, Ireland and the staff of VET Institutes and organizations have performed their job-shadowing in schools and organizations located in Spain. Thanks to the demand and needs analysis carried out by Essenia UETP, the transnational mobility experiences have concretely encouraged the strengthening of the key-competences as well as hard and soft skills; encouraged a better dialogue between the needs expressed by the labor market with employees (and future employees) better aware about skills and competences needed and required; promoted the employability of recent graduates; gave opportunity for personal and professional growth; strengthened the sense of belonging to the European Union. Moreover: the positive impact reached with S.T.A.R. project also depends on a regular and rigorous management that covered all project phases: proposal, implementation, dissemination. They have been: information and awareness; selection; linguistic, pedagogical, intercultural and professional preparations; logistics and organization; dissemination of results; evaluation of impact and learning outcomes. The activities carried out have promoted not only the achievement of the highest quality standards and therefore the reach of a positive impact on all participants directed involved but, also, a positive impact for the partnership as a whole, thanks to: further collaboration and relations between Essenia UETP and various European partners; consolidation and enhancement of good practices defined in previous partnerships of Erasmus+ KA2 projects (Essenia UETP was coordinator or partner of such projects); adoption of methodologies for certification, validation and recognition of skills (ECVET methodology).

"PRO.CO.DE. (PROfessional COmpetences for local DEevelopment) is a two-year international mobility project which has provided for the granting of 48 scholarships to as many new graduates of technical institutes with a computer, electronic and aeronautical orientation, aimed at completing internships lasting 120 days at companies located in Spain, Ireland and the United Kingdom. It has been proposed by a national mobility Consortium made up of the Municipality of Baronissi, as Coordinator, by the VETS ""Baronissi"", ""Galilei"", ""Mattei-Fortunato, and"" Guido Dorso "", with a computer, electronic and aeronautical address, from the BCC of Fisciano and the Istituto Iride of Angri (SA), the project idea was born from an analysis of the territorial and sectorial needs, realized by the Consortium members from which it emerged that, in the Campania region, unemployment rate among the highest in Italy, companies operating in the IT, electronic, and lastly also airport sectors, maintain a positive growth trend and therefore represent, for our graduates, a good catchment area. that these graduates, out of the school system, have serious deficiencies in practical-operational skills and transversal skills, especially linguistic, especially when graduates are to work in companies operating in foreign markets. As a result, in the first few months of joining the company, the activity of the newly hired person is rather unproductive. The aim of the project, therefore, was to ensure that, through an internship abroad in companies of the reference sector, the new graduates would perfect their training, achieve the skills and the technical and transversal skills required by the companies that offer them work. , and ultimately, access the World of Work more easily and competently, which in turn, benefiting from young and already qualified human resources, would have seen their performances improved. The recipients of the mobility action were first-class graduates who came primarily from the Consortium's Technical Institutes, selected after participation in calls issued by the Municipality in collaboration with the schools of origin. The project has been biennial and has been selected for new graduates in 2016 and 2017, with selective criteria that have privileged the motivation, the knowledge of the foreign language and the diploma grade, requisites considered essential for undertaking successfully and effectively an experience both electrifying and intense for eighteen-year-olds who, for the most part, have never experienced life experiences far from the family context; experience that, therefore, required tenacity, perseverance and adaptability. The selected beneficiaries, after a phase of cultural and pedagogical preparation concerning the country of destination, and after the signing of the Learning Agreement, have undertaken their internship experience, lasting 4 months, at selected European companies, participating simultaneously and for the entire duration of the internship at the on-line language training course on the electronic platform prepared and made available by the Program. During the internship they were constantly monitored and assisted by tutors, both in Italy and abroad, who evaluated progress and progress in learning at the end of the internship. This allowed the beneficiaries to get back once they were back in the country of origin, the Europass Mobility, the Europass CV, the Passport of the European Languages, the Certificate of participation in on-line language training, with indication of the level achieved, certificates that can be used for entering the world of work. Municipality of Baronissi was the beneficiary of the funding, General Coordinator of the project and contact person of the National Agency, the partner schools were sending bodies, responsible for the selection, referents for the definition of the Learning Outcomes, The Istituto Iride intervened in the dissemination and dissemination of the project results. The BCC was incorporated by Banca Monte Pruno and the subsequent change at the top resulted in delays in taking on the role of sponsorship assigned to the Institute initially. charged, in case of difficulty in ratifying the commitment made by the Bank, the planned awarding of the 4 most deserving trainees through training vouchers at an accredited training body. Thanks to the project, benefits have been obtained on the direct recipients, the new graduates , which have seen consolidated technical-professional, linguistic, practical-operational knowledge, developed relational and organizational skills and increased the sense of European citizenship. Also benefited from the project, the Italian and foreign partners who will develop their Development Plan European Union, and companies that can rely on a more competent workforce."

"""Citizenship, Administrative and Business practices in Europe"" is a programme which implements the techniques related to Welcoming, Management, Selling and to the New Technologies trough Europe and develops students citizenship.

Our partner, CELTIC SCHOOL OF ENGLISH, located in Tralee, Ireland, finds out the different companies and the hosts families. In relation with the teachers of the vocational school LA RUCHE, both parties try to consolidate the students' language and culture. Together, they negociate the different work placements and the organisation of the whole programme. The vocational high school LA RUCHE aims is to manage entirely the mobility process. In order to reach this goal, we are going to build strong partnership with irish school and companies to organize, as soon as possible, mobilities without an intermediary company. Cultural activities (theatrical play in English, study of the European institutions and visit of the European Parliament, The Europe Day Celebration, cultural visits during the mobility) will help students to raise awareness of the European citizenship concept. This gives an European dimension to our vocational school and permits to link together the management, the teaching team, the educational team and all the students (trainees and others).
