Project Summary

The European Commission has diagnosed a strong discordance between the competences acquired in education and those really
necessary in the workplace.

One of the proposed solutions is promoting work-based learning and, to that end, encouraging relationships between the various
actors that can stimulate these initiatives: companies, business organizations and regional governments and institutions.

Another important goal in dual education is raising the so-called transversal competences, applicable to different work situations
and to different environments on a global market by offering additional internships, but also by adapting the training itself.

An increased mobility of apprentices between companies from different countries exposes the apprentices to different situations,
new environments, different cultural and organizational contexts and stimulates their capacities for autonomy, resilience, problem
solving, adaptation to new situations and innovation.

The aim of this project is to establish a Strategic Partnership for the development of innovative products within the project
framework and their dissemination among partners and training agents.

Objectives:
Different studies about youth mobility projects within the E+ Program have shown that mobility contributes considerably to the
development of certain competences directly linked to stable and quality employment.
Regions or local institutions seem to be the best equipped entities to facilitate preparation and support for this kind of mobility and
at the same time ensure the quality of the offer.
The aim of the project is to improve cooperation between training centers, companies, regional and municipal governments to
develop curricular tools and the necessary logistical and organizational agreements.
In this sense the project aims at developing a curriculum proposal and at developing evaluation tools.

Number of participants:
The work shall be disseminated among stakeholders in open seminars held in Barcelona, Toulouse, Stuttgart and Chomutov, with a
special attention to those units involved in curriculum creation, training centers, teachers’ organizations, training centers,
professional organizations, academic and professional experts.
Approximately 50 people are expected to participate in each event.
We plan to present all our conclusions in a final event in Brussels, with approximately 90 participants.

Description of activities:
We will present our results together with our partners during the events.
The expected outputs are:
Output 01: Curriculum of transversal competences in the context of transnational mobility
Output 02: Protocol for transnational mobility of apprentices
Output 03: Transversal skills of apprentices

The main actions will be:
– Sharing and mapping of the main methodologies, actions and initiatives
– Drafting of a curriculum proposal
– Drafting of a protocol proposal: defining the role of the regions
– Drafting the document: The role of companies in apprenticeships
– Identifying the main transversal competences acquired by apprentices in mobility programs (fieldwork).
– Organizing three national seminars and the final event in Brussels.

Methodology:
The methodology is collaborative. Every partner will work on basis of documents and questionnaires in order to share them in every
meeting.
Based on the analysis of this information, a proposal for an intellectual product will be developed and forwarded to all members for
discussion and summed up in a final report.
The Chamber of Commerce of Barcelona will be responsible for reviewing the correct English language of the final report, the
appropriate design and the design of dissemination materials, as well as for the publication and dissemination in paper version.

Results
The expected outcomes:
– Analysis and inventory of the main actions carried out for the identification and acquisition of transversal core competences in the
different countries and institutions involved
– Design of a curriculum for company training. Design of an evaluation model (detection)
– Identification of the role that regions play. Definition of a protocol, guide, etc.
– Identification of the role of companies

We also expect an important dissemination of these outputs.
The overall goal of this project is to improve VET quality and trainee mobility.

Impact and long term benefits:
The exchange of experiences between the participants and the intensive joint work will certainly contribute to a better
understanding of the problems affecting transnational mobility of apprentices and to the search for concrete and practical solutions.
We hope that this will allow stakeholders to better understand the existing difficulties and to become involved in their resolution
with the help of the instruments that the project puts at their disposal.
