HISTORICAL BACKGROUND The project was born in 1997, when PROMOTRANS, a trade association set up from the initiative of road haulage operators’ trade unions and specializing in the training of students, salaried workers and higher executives in the areas of transport, logistics and supply chain management, wanted to enhance their first European School of Transport’s European dimension through the paricipation of the school in LEONARDO programmes. When the European programmes were reshaped in 2007, PROMOTRANS built up in a Consortium for the coordination and monitoring of the traineeship mobility programmes for the schools which were renamed « INTERNATIONAL SCHOOLS OF TRANSPORT AND LOGISTICS, which first obtained an ERASMUS charter for a 7-year period, which was renewed for another 7 years until 2020. PROMOTRANS then obtained the certification for the organisation of ERASMUS traineeships through the Consortia (CHOSE). THE OBJECTIVES The first objective is to put at the disposal of the companies new competencies, able to take up the challenges of an economy which is increasingly digital, sustainable and inclusive and to enhance the professional competencies of the students from the schools members of the Consortium in order to improve their employability. At the strategic level, the development of a mobility policy enables the schools to increase the quality and the relevance of their training programmes, to strengthen the visibility of the degree programmes at the European and international levels and to participate actively in the regional development plans, thereby turning them into key players in the running and development of competitive clusters in France. THE PARTICIPANTS The mobility beneficiaries are students who have already graduated with a two-year diploma (two-year technical degree in Transport and Logistical operations, two-year university degree in Transport and Logistical Management, two-year university degree in Logistics Quality and Organization and two-year technical degree in International Trade) and who wish to prepare a Master degree of level 7. These students have all a first professional experience in the areas of transport and logistics or ancillary activities and they wish to deepen their professional skills through international mobility. Almost all students are on a work-linked traning system. Therefore, the number of students have been reduced in this project but as the international mobility will be set up and explained progressively, the number of students in mobility will increase. THE ACHIEVEMENTS The students have been entrusted with missions and projects related to the global competences targeted by the companies in the global supply chain and formalized in the degree programmes of the schools. The durations of mobility have been linked with the level of training expected, say from 5 months.The host companies have been members of the network for many years and they have all developed logistical functions. THE RESULTS AND THE IMPACTS The students have been able to improve their professional linguistic skills, their managerial capabilities, their capacities to work in teams and they have been able to open their employability prospects abroad. The schools, which are members of the Consortium have been able to improve the quality of their degree programmes by using the expertose of managers from companies abroad and they have been able to create synergies with the local companies hosting the students in work-linked training. Finally, the Coordinator of the Consortium, PROMOTRANS, has been in a position to improve its system of management of mobilities and deepen the partnerships with the universities/schools abroad. LONG-TERM BENEFITS The students who have experienced such mobilities have become managers generally in their host companies abroad and they act now as buddies for their colleagues who will be in mobility programmes the year after, thereby creating true international seed mills. The schools have been able to participate actively in the regional development plans through their successful partnerships with companies. Finally, the Coordinator of the Consortium, PROMOTRANS, has been able to improve its past references in the management and monitoring of European programmes.
