As the Umbrella Organization for Landscape Gardening in North Rhine-Westphalia we see ourselfs compelled to provide our member with all possible instruments to establish and maintain high quality education. ERASMUS+ is a good tool to send Learners and Trainers to receive practical and technical training in a foreign country. The goal is to send trainees for work experience to English Gardens which have influenced Garden Design historically and continue to do so. Such knowledge is relevant for the vocational education as well as on the labour market. That is why we also aim to train our trainers in this field to give them an edge over competion. Additionaly a work experience abroad always strengenths personal and intercultural skills of the participant. It also raises their mobility. It helps to grow together in Europe and will counter the lack of skilled personell through offering atractive and high quality vocational training. The trainees will travel in two flows consiting of each members each to South-West England where our partner CMS Devon Ltd is going to receive and look after them. CMS Devon will deploy our interns to work with the National Trust, who is the largest employer in this field. CMS Devon Ltd is responsible for organizing the flows and looking after the participants during their stay - this includes flights, accomodation, transport, insurance, board and leisure time offers. This is the same for our training personell, in addition CMS Devon Ltd will provide planing and execution of the training curriculum including historical and current gardens and institutions as well as a practical day to reinforce what has been learnd. Being a hugh umbrella organisation this will enable us to infuse that knowledge and those skills back into our vocational schools and our companies. This will ensure them an advantage over their competitors. On top of that it brings added value to all participants through strengthening their personality and their practical skills and proffesional knowledge. We agree that every trainee should spent time abroad during their training period because it does open up new hoizons and gives new perspektives in work and private life. Having said this it is our goal to send out more trainees and trainers each year to educate both groups and thus continue to offer relevant and highly qualfied vocatinal training in order to win mor young people for this profession.
