"“AUDACE+3"" is a mobility project led by a consortium, coordinated by the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Regional Council, the sending partners being Pôle Emploi Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and the 14 ""Missions Locales"" of the Auvergne. The consortium wishes to offer work placements in European companies for VET learners that experience difficulties in entering the job market.Within the project, the consortium wishes to send 80 beneficiaries for 8-week work placements in European companies (lreland, Italy, Lithuania, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Malta and Greece). The beneficiaries are continuing VET learners who are not preparing for a diploma. These people encounter difficulties in entering the labour market and in managing their transition to working life.They are monitored by counsellors at Pôle Emploi Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and ""Missions locales"" (members of the consortium).The main objectives for the VET learners are:1° behaviour: motivation, autonomy, self-reliance, communication, social skills, mobility2° professional: professional skills and competence, new professional techniques and practice, better knowledge of the world of enterprise;3° linguistic and cross-cultural: practising a foreign language, discovering another European language, realising one's European citizenship, growing aware of one's own culture.Transversal skills - necessary for one's persona l, social and professional fulfilment - are in the centre of the project for these two groups of VET learners, and this even prior to gaining professional skills as such. A pedagogical, linguistic and cultural preparation will take place before the mobility and there are language classes during the mobility period.Expected outcomes for the VET learners include:- gaining professional, linguistic, cross-cultural and transversal skills;- re-establishing one's personal and professional project;- increased employability;- renewed interest in learning;- more active citizen involvement;- better capacity for geographical mobility on all levels: regional, national, European, or even international;- quicker access to better employment or to skills training/a diploma course.All beneficiaries will receive a Europass Mobility on their return to certify the achieved learning outcomes.Finally, the potential longer-term benefits of the project include:- pursuing the regional dynamic created amongst the members of the consortium of AUDACE mobility projects;- training of better quality for continuous VET trainees in Auvergne;- internationalisation of employment/training support structures;- more international activity both in sending and receiving reg ions.The results will be disseminated through:- Europass awarding ceremonies in the presence of regional councillors and local press;- forums for international mobility, forums on employment, etc.;- articles in local newspapers;- presentations in reunions;- the newsletter of the« Auvergne Network for International Mobility ». the IODA network of the CARIF-OREF, social networks (""Auvergne Mobilité Internationale"" on Facebook, Twitter).Thanks to the AUDACE project, for 11 years, 440 VET learners benefited from a work placement in Europe. The consortium implemented on a local level will contribute in maintaining the strong interest expressed by the target group. The beneficiaries can, therefore, get involved in the mobility. Their active participation and commitment is proven by the success of the “AUDACE” project."
