Fostering the Virtual Mobility within the Metal Sector

Europe is living a stage of great changes, where it is necessary to act firmly on the relation between training and labour market to progress realistically towards the so called Knowledge Society. The economic crisis is showing a sectoral and occupational restructuring in the Metal Sector:In Europe, there are qualification tension in emerging sectors, with scarce offer of qualified manpower and other sectors with high rates of unemployment in groups of low-qualified workers. On the other hand, there is an increasing requirement of qualification for the replacement of the vacancies. In these circumstances the job mobility becomes an effective training tool to meet these changes. However, mid-term studies show that despite the efforts of all EU initiatives, workers mobility do not increase as expected. According to Eurobarometer,2006"geographical and job mobility in the EU remain rather limited". In this scenario, the virtual mobility of the workers plays an essential role to improve training of the adult population, integrated in the labour world and the adaptation, basic in the context of quickly changing labour markets(Lisbon Strategy and European Employment Strategy) For all these reasons, it is necessary to encourage virtual mobility to allow the Metal workers undergo sector changes taking advantage of their knowledge acquired in previous trainings and jobs, as well as to allow workers move from low-qualified jobs to others with higher contents in the same sector, thus providing higher added value to their performance.MeVeL will adapt and transfer the methodology and tools of TeaCamp project (502102-LLP-1-2009-1-LT-ERASMUS-EVC) from the academic to the productive field, to favor virtual mobility among metal workers, by facilitating development, management and implementation of virtual mobility and by improving their virtual mobility competences. MeVeL project contributes to the needs to increase virtual mobility among metal workers by facilitating: a) metal companies to realize necessary steps to be undertaken to ensure full learning virtual exchange and recognition of training virtual processes, b) metal workers to prepare,develop and implement virtual mobility, despite of their economic, social and other restraints, c) companies and workers to benefit from updated and qualitative curriculum.
