"This project stems from the partners' experience of the need to extend the close link between vocational training, higher education and professional practices to an advanced level and in a European context. With the increasing globalisation and instability of labour markets, as well as the scarcity of employment opportunities for young people, educational and professional bodies need to be able to provide the young generation with useful tools for their professional future. EUROMOB project, consisting of 7 partners from Spain, Greece, France, Finland and Portugal, has developed an online tool to identify, measure and recognise the competences that students acquire during their mobility programme in a European country, with the recognition of companies and educational institutions. This online tool responds to a number of needs, in line with the ""New Skills Agenda for Europe"" adopted by the Commission on 10 June 2016: 10 actions were launched to make training, skills and adequate support available to EU citizens, including: a European Qualifications Framework, to support better recognition of qualifications, the Digital Skills and Jobs Coalition, aiming to improve the digital skills of the general population, Blueprint for Sectoral Cooperation on Skills, to improve the recognition and development of skills in specific sectors such as the automotive sector in vocational education and training (VET) studies by supporting the modernisation and internalisation of vocational training and key competences.EUROMOB Tool addresses the transparency and multinational recognition of competences acquired during work placement training activities abroad. Competences adapted to higher education and vocational education and training that are gained after contact with the world of work, in the fields of electrical automation and car mechanics for vocational education and training and business-related studies and the ICT sector for higher education and training. The online tool creates a direct relationship between students, educational institutions and companies, as the validation process and the use of the platform involves these key actors.The advantages of the online tool are aimed at increasing the employability of young people, the recognition of competences acquired in mobility placements, the fostering of a stronger relationship between learners and enterprises and the identification of labour market needs.This online tool is not designed to replace existing and functioning EU transparency tools or validation and credit systems (Europass, Youthpass, ECVET, ECTS, NQF, EQF, Esco, QA system), but to use them in an application programming interface. In accordance with the above-mentioned needs and objectives, the Euromob (IO2) platform has been developed to recognise and validate the skills of students undertaking a mobility, work placement abroad. This platform allows measuring, both by the student and the company, the evolution of the horizontal competences acquired in a mobility. It also allows the educational institution to review and approve the internship agreement online. In order to carry out an internship, the student must register both the internship agreement and the skills to be developed in the internship, in agreement with the company and the educational organisation. After this, the educational organisation must review and approve this information, and if everything is correct, the internship can be carried out. During the internship, company and student can measure the evolution of the specific competences of the educational sector in which the activity is being developed. At the end of the internship, a report is generated where the final assessment of these competences is recorded. This report will be certified according to qualification standards.For the development of the platform, a report has been previously made to identify the specific skills and competences (IO1) of the four sectors addressed (car mechanics or electrical automation for vocational training such as business studies and ICT in higher education), competences that are developed during the internship abroad. The platform is available in the languages of the partner countries (English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Finnish and Greek).In order to facilitate the use of this online platform and make it accessible to students, teachers and companies, user guides and multimedia content (IO3) have been developed to allow all actors involved in an internship to integrate this tool during mobilities. These user guides are available on the project website and the multimedia guides on Youtube, all this content is available in English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Finnish and Greek.At the same time, a qualification validation method and qualification standards have been elaborated where a certification scheme has been developed for each professional category in order to assess and certify the knowledge, skills and competences of each professional. This is a means of guaranteeing that the certified person meets the requirements of the certification scheme, allowing companies to identify the real competences of the candidates, which facilitates the recruitment and selection of personnel and at the same time increases the possibilities of the students who carry out these internships using the Euromob tool.Accompanying this method of validation of qualifications together with the qualification standards, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), a Learning Agreement (LA) and a statement agreeing the details of the internship have been drawn up."
