EMPLEAMOS EUROPA IV gives continuity to the previous experiences carried out by EMPESA: EMPLEAMOS EUROPA y EMPLEAMOS EUROPA II (from Lifelong Learning Programme) and EMPLEAMOS EUROPA III (ERASMUS+ 2014). These mobility projects are allowing the implementation of the internationalization plans of EMPESA. At the same time, EMPESA has created a consortium which includes: the Luis Bruñel´s Centre for Professional training, the Simone Ortega Hotel and Tourism Industry (CIFP) and IMEPE (The Municipal Institute for Employment and Economic Promotion of Alcorcón). For the IMEPE, it is not the first time that works together with EMPESA, as it has already work already appeared as a local partner of the project of Mósteles. All of the members of the consortium will be considered “sending partners” and they have signed a mandate with the coordinator which is included in amongst the annexes of the project and which gives EMPESA the capacity to act in its name and representation within the framework of the project. At a European level, EMPESA counts upon the colaboration of partners in the United Kingdom, Italia and Portugal: INTERN EUROPE (Belfast, United Kingdom, AEF (Florence, IT) y EUROYOUTH (Lisbon, PT) which will support the consortium in the activities which have to do with the stays of the participants and with practical training. With these partners the coordinator will sign an agreement in which each of their responsibilities will be established. EMPLEAMOS EUROPA IV will give the possibility of a bursary to 8 participants between the ages of 18 and 30 years old in order to carry-out quality practical training in businesses of different EU countries: The United Kingdom, Italy and Portugal, for 3 months. The participants will receive online linguistic support, except those who go to Portugal who have an assigned quantity of money for an intensive course, for doing before or during the stay. EMPLEAMOS EUROPE IV has focused on a group on young people in which it has detected some particular shortcomings which make getting a job difficult for them and which could however be supplemented with a program like that which is proposed from the consortium. This group is characterised by having hardly any work experience, by having a lack of practical training which gives them a certain specialization after the theoretical training received, by not having mobility experience, national or abroad, which provides them with a greater overview of the labour market, by not possessing a sufficient language level in a market which is demanding at least the knowledge of a language as a prerequisite sine qua non, and by having a motivation in taking part of this programme. The project will give out the bursaries in a balanced way between the sending partners, which will have 2 participants per institution. The professional sectors which will incorporate the project are: The Hotel and Restaurant Industry, Management and Administration of businesses, Aesthetics and Hairdressing, Tourism Promotion; Socio-cultural and Community services; ICT Security; Digital pre-impression; Gastronomy and Kitchen; Laboratory of Image; Community Mediation Services; ICT and Computing; Training for Job Orientation. The EMPESA team, lead by Felipe Díaz Martín, Managing Director and supported by Cristina Cabrera, Technical and Finance Director and Elena Rodríguez, Specialist will coordinate the project and will be ultimately responsible for the good progress of the different activities before, during and after the practical training: Project design, preparation of the participants before departure, organisation of the stays in the EU countries, looking for companies, collecting documents, evaluation and monitoring, etc. Beyond this main objective the project seeks: - To offer the opportunity of carrying-out work experience to those who have still not had the possibility to have it. - To give the possibility of specialising in the field of the latest professional training received. - To have the real opportunity to associate training and employment, promoted by the European recommendations. - To have an international experience, with everything which is associated with it: knowledge of a new culture, improving knowledge of one or two languages. - To improve the linguistic competencies of the participants. - To encourage the emancipation of young people through this experience. - To encourage entrepreneurial, imaginative and autonomous spirit.
