"The KA1 mobility project ""ECVET Lehrlingsmobilität 2018 - 4 Länder / 4 Sektoren advanced"" has implemented practical placements for apprentices or young people in the dual initial VET system as well as for corresponding staff from 4 economic sectors and in 4 receiving countries. In this way, young learners and expert staff from the sectors advanced manufacturing technologies, tourism, trade/retail, public administration, and furthermore disadvantaged youth, got the possibility to have a practical placement in institutions and companies of the same sector either in Germany, Italy, Ireland, Malta or the United Kingdom. The duration of the placements was between 2 and 4 weeks (one week for staff) according to the corporate frame conditions. An important focus of the project lies on the use of ECVET as method for the qualitative implementation of the mobility actions. At the beginning of the selection process we defined units of learning outcomes together with the companies and according to the professional profile which were able to be gained during the practical placement. These were agreed with the host organisations in a memorandum of understanding. A learning agreement was the basis of agreement between apprentices and companies and if needed their parents. In a personal transcript the acquired units of learning outcomes were documented at the end of the placement as basis for further recognition. Besides ECVET, the participants were issued an Europass Mobility Pass for the documentation of their practical placement. The project was implemented in a co-operation of well experienced intermediary organisations with excellent contacts and networks to companies in all four sectors. With this, we offered the possibility to reflect the conditions and requirements of companies and apprentices in a best possible way. Permanent monitoring during the implementation of the placements ensured quality, for young people under 18 as well as for the disadvantaged we offered an accompanying person. The evaluation strategy of the project focused on each single project phase and the dissemination strategy allowed dissemination of results far beyond the participating organisations and apprentices. This lead to a broad project impact in the region."
