CIFP ASTURIAS 13-15 project is promoted by the HIGHER EDUCATION VOCATIONAL TRAINING SCHOOL LA LABORAL(Spain). In addition to the promoter, the association involves all the HIGHER EDUCATION VOCATIONAL TRAINING SCHOOLS OF ASTURIAS acting as sending partners, as well as more than 12 companies that will provide working placements in seven European States. We will move 46 students from initial vocational training, that will do practise work in companies in their professional areas for four weeks, parallel to the compulsory period when they should do their workplacement in companies in Spain. Needs addressed: In Spain, the youth unemployment rate is very high. The aim of this project is to promote the “mobility culture” between the short term future workers of the UE. It tries to “open minds and borders” for getting the first job and increase employability opportunities. Objectives and results: - Improve the “mobility culture” in a weak mobility group, which will be the future workers of the EU. - Acquire professional skills that facilitate labour market access. - Improve communicative competences and skills in EU languages. - Foster knowledge of different educational and working systems in the different states of the EU. - Provide added value to the “curriculum vitae” of the participants with the “Europass-Mobility”. - Develop social, interpersonal and transversal basic competences, as autonomy, responsibility, initiative, respect for multiculturalism, etc. Where and when they will take place: The destinations will be: Italy, Germany, France, Portugal, Finland and Malta As the mobility experiences will develop at the same time when students should do the compulsory “workplacement” in Spain, some of the mobilities will take place in October-December 2014 and the others in March-May 2015.
