The AVE PLUS Project aims to promote the mobility of learners for learning purposes, as well as meeting the needs identified in the Ave Region. It involves a consortium of 7 schools: Didáxis Cooperativa de Ensino ; Cenatex – Escola Profissional; Profitecla- Escola Profissional; Agrupamento de Escolas Gonçalo Sampaio; Externato de S. Miguel de Refojos; Agrupamento de Escolas Camilo Castelo Branco e OFICINA Escola Profissional do Instituto Nun'Alvres. Education, Training and Promotion of working experiences are crucial for the development of the Ave region. By Knowing the advantages of the ERASMUS + programme to foster exchange, cooperation and mobility between education and professional training systems and its contribution to the social and professional development of their participants, CIM do Ave presents this proposal. The main aim is to meet the needs and gaps of the Region and improve the performance, quality and attractiveness of education and professional training in Europe, while at the same time encouraging the use of various professional training opportunities in the context of lifelong learning. Main Aims: • Promote work experiences with new training opportunities for the acquisition of specific professional skills; • Increasing the employability of young people in the labour market that is increasingly global and competitive; • Improve the relationship between training and labour market; • Increase the level of personal and professional development of the participants; • Promote the international partnership networks; • Strengthen the quality of school organization and promote the visibility of the schools;; • Promote the Vocational Education as an alternative quality; • encourage innovation and entrepreneurship, • Contribute to a European awareness that leads to an active and participatory citizenship The present project is addressed to vocational trainees divided equal in number by each consortium of schools. Thus, each school will send 4 trainees, which makes a total of 28 learners from different professional training courses. This project aims to give an opportunity for participants with vocational training of performing an international internship; and to 10 professionals (teachers and staff) in order to support their personal and professional development to improve future activities. By participating in this project, the participants will achieve the following objectives: a) consolidate knowledge; b) acquire new skills and become more competitive in the labour market access; c) learn or improve a new language; d) get in touch with the labour market; e) the acquisition of new forms of communication, relationship with other cultures, and the integration on the real European common market. At the end of the project we expect to have been able to build a partnership that does not finishes with the end of the project, but that is maintained with mutual benefits of networking by sharing knowledge, experiences, needs and goals. Our second goal is to help the recognition of Europe as a space of all citizens, with more mobility on employment and training. Finally, we intend to help participants achieving their career goals, as well as a deep consciousness that mobility experiences are increasingly needed to be competitive in the labour market. We believe that this project will be an asset to the plan of activities of the CIM do AVE, particularly regarding to the territorial employment pact and Vocational Training. It will provide to young people and to staff of the region important solutions to their real training needs and it will be a complement to their experience to enable them to face the labour market with more optimistic perspectives. The program will be carried during 24 months and the mobility period for each trainee will be 3 months. The Participants will have preparation before the departure, cultural preparation in the host country, socio-cultural activities, internships in selected companies according to each participant's profile, monitoring, mentoring and continuous evaluation throughout the program and collection and evaluation of the results obtained and the labour integration rate.
