The project included the organization of mobility for apprentices and trainers for the Oslo and and Akershus region. The partnership between these two regions has been successful for several years and is based on a mutual strategy of strenghenting vocational training through international mobility in order to support educational strategies. 48 apprentices took part in the project.They participated for the most part in 13 weeks placements with language course and training in company. 9 of them participated in a 6 week placement often because they were not permitted to have a longer placement by their employer. The apprentices are selected on the basis of their motivation and their personal and professional project. In order to achieve their goals, we offer them a placement abroad that included a language course and a placement in a local company. This allows them to learn new techniques, to experience life abroad and to reflect on what this experience can bring to them in the future. We cooperated with institutions in 10 European countries for organizing the placement: Austria, Denmark, England, France, Greece, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Spain. We offered not only a large range of destinations, but also a large range of professions: - childcare workers- healthcare workers- baker- automobil mechanic- electricians- IT workers- cooks- office and administration workers- receptionists - carpentersChildcare workers are the most represented vocational training and we placed 14 apprentices in England, Spain and Italy. We look forward to deepening our ties with our current partners in this field. Only 2 trainers were placed abroad for a duration of 4-5 days, both in Italy (childcare and service/catering) . The aim was to improve the awareness of the training enterprise about the benefits of international mobility and hopefully trigger “internationalization at home” by using the international experience for training VET learning in Norway. The aim is also to benefit from the trainer’s professional expertise to define better the specific learning outcomes of some specific placements for apprentices. The feedback from the 2 trainers was positive, though we experienced that it could be challenging to send both a trainer and its trainee to the same place. We have learned we must prepare trainers better to complete their task.
