The Galician territory needs young Europeans who move in a single market and contribute to the creation of a more open and integrated European labor market, as well as a balanced professional training and in direct contact with the labor and business world of Europe.The School of Hospitality Álvaro Cunqueiro, belonging to the Provincial Association of Hospitality Entrepreneurs of A Coruña, Hospitals of Europe I (2011-12), as well as, for the instruments of validation and recognition of competences ECVET produced in the project Transfer and Innovation Learning results-oriented mobility placements to gain transparency and recognition of qualifications in the field of Tourism and Catering - LEOqualTC (2013-2015) of which the School was a partner.The profiles to which the project was directed were:- KITCHEN- BASIC KITCHEN OPERATIONS.- BASIC OPERATIONS OF RESTAURANT AND BAR- CAFETERIA SERVICES- RECEPTION, EVENTS, COMMUNICATION AND MARKETING- BASIC FLOOR OPERATIONS IN ACCOMMODATIONS (floor manager).The main training objectives were to achieve:- Provide participants with greater competitiveness in the labor market, or stimulate their interest in order to undertake a course of higher education in the sectors of reference. It aims to improve the technical skills of the participants and make them more competitive and able to work in a globalized market;- Increase the knowledge of the foreign languages ​​of our students, essential for a market as international as tourism.- Improve employability through qualifications on the basis that a trained worker feels more secure and motivated to find a job.For the evaluation of these objectives and the labor orientation on the return of the participants were counted on the employment offices that the School Álvaro Cunqueiro.From the School we have tried to bring European training / work mobility closer to young students and / or people in occupational training, promoting the creation of European citizenship and a competitive and innovative economic fabric, as well as helping to combat unemployment in the sector .The main objective of the project is that the young Galician innkeepers experience and know the world of work in an international environment, both for training purposes and oriented to the future professional.The countries of destination included in the project were Malta, Italy, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Portugal. The total mobilities foreseen were 18 with a duration of 2 months each.Finally, 13 mobilities have been made to 4 participants countries:1- Portugal (1 participant),2 - Malta (4 participants),3- United Kingdom (4 participants),4- Italy (4 participants)The intermediary and host partners are in their back composed of entities that have collaborated in mobility projects [LDV-PLM, Erasmus + KA1] as well as collaborators in the project of Innovation Transfer -TOI that the School of Hostería the period 2013 -15 as a key partner.The present mobility project was carried out from 01/09/2015 to 08/31/2017 with a total duration of 24 months.NOTE: We would also like to point out that one of the participants from Malta (Brais Quintana Bolón) returned early from their stay in Malta because a local catering company asked the School's management to carry out the professional internship with them once he started the mobility in Malta. It served as a probationary period as they were interested in hiring him at the end of training/probatory period. The boy asked for the returning since the company was not ready to wait until the end of the mobility.This is why this participant only made a mobility from 27/06/2017 to 07/15/2017 as it appears in the mobility tool.

"In line with the objectives of the Europe2020 Strategy and ET2020, through ""EUROFCT"", IES Vega de Gudalete, aims to improve the quality of education and vocational training, giving a European dimension to the educational paths and thus providing the young participants the opportunity to test and improve their skills: professionalism in the specific areas of vocational education (informatics microsystems and computer networks), cultural knowledge and linguistic preparation. This general objective, in line with the ET2020 strategy is pursued through a mobility experience that consists of a learning mobility internship abroad of 13 weeks for 26 students/learners recent graduates. The training programme includes an internship in selected companies of Computer, computer repair, network installation, computer maintenance, to acquire knowledge and skills within the sectors and compare the various professional techniques, and activities aimed at the inclusion and integration in the context and for the improvement of language skills and to better know the culture of the hosting country. The main expected results from the project include: the rise of the personal and professional skills of the participants and the promotion of key competencies related to the real exercise of active citizenship; increasing the employment potential of the participants, the introduction of innovative training methods as a complement to existing practices and pathways and the improvement of the educational level of technical and vocational schools, the development of relations between the transnational partners and the promotion of processes of cooperation and exchange of good practices between the partners involved, with a significant impact in improving the educational and vocational guidance.The construction of a permanent network of transnational public-institutional organisations and not only, therefore, is one of the main objectives of the project and allows the exchange of experiences and best practices at various levels (technical excellence, best practices in educational policies and governance of the system). With this proposal, therefore, aims to give momentum to the internationalization of institutional relations and cooperation at European level. The opportunities for economic and social growth cannot be separated from the desire to create strong interdependence and synergy between educational and training institutions and strong partnerships with local and foreign business realities.The project is, besides, implemented in an European context considering the European priority and thematic approached such as ""ECVET for transparency and recognition of learning outcomes and qualifications"". The development of ECVET began in 2002 after the Copenhagen Process emphasizing the need for a credit transfer system for VET. ""EUROFCT"" is a project based on the concrete responses to the questions of developing ECVET in the European member States and corresponding to the 2009 EU Recommendations on the establishment of the European Credit system for VET, although in Spain dosn't work yet wew will follow the procedures like MOU, learning agreement, etc. The project works in particular to realise an European area for Lifelong Learning.The whole activities are implemented by regarding a strong European perspective which is reflected in all project activities and results. The project aims to increase the knowledge of ECVET and its technical specifications and ensuring that the added value of ECVET is understood and perceived all over Europe."

PROJECT CONTEXT AND BACKGROUND. The 3DGoldSkills project was born within Arezzo’s GOLD AND SILVER DISTRICT, which is one of the most traditional and historical sectors of Tuscan industry and that represents the Italian excellence in the world of jewellery. The current difficult economic situation, however, has resulted in a sharp change in the competitive landscape that had hitherto supported the growth of the sector. 3DGoldSkills aims at facing these issues by RAISING THE LEVELS OF DIFFERENTIATION AND INNOVATION within the industry. This will be possible through the YOUNG’s training and specialization in the field of process and product innovation for the jewellery industry, as they will be able to support the companies’ process of modernization (lacking of technology) as well as the process of development of advanced services, in order to compete in an evolving market increasingly invaded by competitors.3DGoldSkills aims at contributing to the increase of employability for students or young people who have recently completed a course of study in a professional school. This target will be achieved through two actions: students mobility and high school graduates mobility. The participating schools are professional-technical schools that have included in their curricula: courses related to chemistry applied to the gold sector (galvanic processes), courses related to rapid prototyping and new 3D technologies, courses related to design and art applied to the gold sector and to marketing / sales.OBJECTIVES. The project’s main objective is to carry out mobility actions in the field of gold and silver for the young living in Arezzo. The planned activities are aimed at improving the participants’ life and soft-skills, that will help them to be included in the labour market and hard skills, which could be useable in the GOLDSMITH field. In this way, the local businesses will be able to find, within the local labour market, trained and highly Europeanized young people, who will be able to support their business decisions of high strategic impact.The project will also recognize and validate the LO through linear and clear procedures in compliance with the ECVET. This will be possible thanks to the use of skills and credits recognition methods and tools through Learning units, which shall be capitalised and turned into education and / or training credits.PROFILE AND NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS60 STUDENTS. 16/19 years old students attending State High Schools in Arezzo.20 HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES / QUALIFIED. Young people who have obtained a vocational qualification or diploma related to gold industry, by not more than 12 months. The project involves the participation of young people with physical disabilities or Specific Learning Disability (SLD).ACTIVITIES. The activities of the project shall be as follows:- Project management (divided into four main documents, enclosing the four key aspects of the sound management of the project: Control and Coordination Plan, Learning and Assessment Plan, Communication Management Plan, Dissemination and Valorisation Plan).- Trainees preparation (language, technical, educational and cultural training).- Internships identification and activation (following the selection of participants, the candidate-company MATCHING will be held in collaboration with the foreign parties, which will evaluate the participants profiles according businesses availability).- Accompaniment of underage participants with physical disabilities or SLD by adequately prepared subjects (mainly the teachers working in the participating Institutes)- Ongoing monitoring and ex post.- Final assessment (outcomes, project, good practices).- Dissemination and exploitation beyond the boundaries of the participating territories.METHODOLOGY. The activated methodologies are, essentially, practical and aimed at achieving effective, efficient and repeatable models.RESULTS AND IMPACT. At a general level, the project’s impact will be mainly on the school and training world (VET) thanks to: learning outcomes of participants in mobility; acquired skills (life, soft and hard skills); recognition of credits. The dissemination strategy will support the overall objectives and the specific activities of the project: in particular, the publication of the project OUTPUT (materials), but also OUTCOMES (results) and OUTREACH (impact).LONG-TERM BENEFITS. In the long term, we expect: development of gold and silver district of the province of Arezzo; extension of the partnership abroad, both in terms of territories and skills; ability to implement exchange and cooperation projects thanks to the use of other funds (e.g. H2020, Private Finance for Energy Efficiency, other); as the Consortium, the opportunity of exerting influence over mobility management as well as over the adoption of EQAVET framework and ECVET credit recognition system.
