Support programme

Erasmus+ KA2 Strategic Partnership for VET

Description

Erasmus+ RMT is a project born from the experiences that come from the implementation and management of mobility projects by members of the partnership over many years in a framework of national and regional and European funding to support and enhance the employability of people looking to enter or get back into the labour market.
Developed over a two year period, one of the project’s major objectives is the finalisation of a “methodological toolkit for transnational mobility”, both complementary to European tools for the accreditation of transnational internship experiences and innovative thanks to its methodological basis.

Partnership

Project outcomes

The project lists the European practices and tools developed in recent years concerning transnational mobility. Secondly, the project researches the views of European companies about the added value of benefits and skills acquired by participants in an international context. It is also foreseen a methodological toolkit, developed from French contributions based on careers guidance and both comparative research projects conducted in Germany, Spain, Italy, France and the United Kingdom on the current practice of mobility operators and businesses in supporting transnational vocational mobility.

Our role

ESMOVIA is in charge of researching the Spanish good practices in mobility, as well as conducting interviews and questionnaires with Spanish companies to check the impact of the mobility experiences while hiring.

Support programme

Leonardo da Vinci – Transfer of Innovation

Description

There is a rising demand for work placements abroad during an initial vocational training. However, most of the participants can be released from vocational schools or training companies no longer than 3-4 weeks. In most cases, this confines their work placements abroad to short-time placements. Therefore, insufficient language skills and a lack of international experience make it difficult for them to perform complex work activities in the host country. Accordingly, work placements are confined to simple work, which do not always come up to the participants’ profiles. Hence, the work placements do not always allow any conclusions to the occupational qualifications acquired during the stay abroad.

In this context, ARBEIT UND LEBEN has excellent experience with assigning the following task to participants for their work placements abroad: gather information on a training-related topic in the host country and present the result in a project report. This approach aims at upgrading so-called “intercultural investigations of occupational fields” of the work placement program with regard to contents and, thus, to enable the participants to take a specific point of view and thoroughly deal with the conditions of their occupational fields and the socio-cultural circumstances of their host country, and this by means of interviews with experts and during tours of and visits to companies. At the same time, they shall prove their skills to communicate in the foreign language, to use media as well as develop some intercultural competence, which is to be understood as the ability to successfully implement objectives and tasks in a different cultural environment

However, the alignment of assigned tasks and the recognition of learning achievements is still confined to agreements with individual vocational schools and companies. To enhance this approach and to make it generally useful for projects of the trans-national advancement of mobility projects in the initial vocational training, it would take a platform which makes curricula, learning objectives and evaluation criteria transparent and facilitate the sharing of information of the sending and hosting organisations.

Partnership

Project outcomes

The EVST database is at the core of European Vocational Skills Training supporting this transfer. The database serves to make it easier for partner organizations and participants participating in a transnational mobility project to coordinate learning processes and learning performances with each other in a dialog process. It is adapted by user navigation to the process steps of a mobility project in order to facilitate project organization and coordination. In addition, the learning performances can be documented in a certificate that can be added as an attachment to the “Europass-Mobility”.

Our role

ESMOVIA, as a partner in the project has been in charge of developing the EVST database and test it with students received in Valencia.

Leonardo da Vinci Partnerships

Description

The Partner Project “WORK WITHOUT BARRIERS” emerges from the thoughts about the necessity of connecting vocational education with the job market needs and the importance of preparing the students for undertaking their first economic activity in a proper way. The aim of the project is to show our students the best ways of obtaining enough knowledge to pass all types of examinations certifying their professional qualifications (knowledge of work law, tax law and legal regulations in terms of their own working activity) on the one hand, and on the other, to demonstrate how they can use their knowledge effectively in running their own businesses.

Partnership

  • Zespol Szkol Technicznych I Licealnych w Sosnowcu, Poland – Leader
  • ESMOVIA, Spain – Partner
  • Bulgaria Training, Bulgaria – Partner
  • Sistema Turismo, Italy – Partner

Project outcomes

The final product of the project is “The Graduate Guide”, in which we compare Polish and European job markets in terms of legal regulations connected with starting and running business activities in Poland and the partner countries. The results of the project can be used by young people undertaking their first job as well as unemployed people who are looking for a job.

Our role

ESMOVIA, as partner in the project, is in charge of conducting a research on the Spanish labour market and to show different steps to open a company. Moreover, ESMOVIA contributes to the Graduate Guide with translations and detailed content.
