The current project “Learning Mobility of Students for Successful Professional Realization in Engineering & ICT Sectors” - UKTrain aimed at sending 90 students from three vocational technical schools on a two-week practical training in Plymouth, South West England. The practice took place in real working conditions in companies operating in two of the priority economic sectors in EU member states, namely the engineering and ICT sectors in the period June 27 - August 09, 2015. Participants were students from 10-11th grade with basic educational training in the field of mechanical/electrical engineering, on the one hand, or ICT, on the other, depending on what they study at school. These are young people who need acquiring new skills and qualifications in order to facilitate their professional development and enhance their employability. To ensure the principles of transparency, equality of treatment and objectivity, participants’ selection process consisted of two phases. The first selection phase included the presentation of a letter of motivation, preparation of on a topic related to one of the two focal sectors of the project - engineering and ICT, as well as a filling in a number of supporting documents. The first stage of the selection was completed by conducting individual interviews to verify the motivation and attitude of candidates, test verification of knowledge of English and an interview with a psychologist. The final ranking and selection of mobility participants depended on the results from the preliminary pedagogical, linguistic and inter-cultural preparation, which was essential for mobility actions, since it gave participants the opportunity not only to improve their language skills, but also to broaden their outlook on culture, traditions, work habits and practices of English society. The end users of the project, who were sent to a two-week placement in England, were selected according to the results of the pedagogical, linguistic and inter-cultural preparation in combination with other criteria and evaluations of candidates. During the mobility participants had the opportunity to participate directly in the working process of 34 foreign companies, 19 of which in the IT sector and 15 in mehano- / electrical engineering industry, expanding the range of application of theoretical knowledge into practice in line with international standards in the target sectors and improving professional competence by learning to: - Assembling and repair of computers and servers, installation and dismantling of desktop computer systems, recycling of computer parts, maintenance of computers and other technologies and best practices in the ICT sector; - Development and design of a project to design a logo, brochure, website creation by customer's request, maintenance and repair of websites, web and graphic design, branding and web applications; - Diagnostics and repair of electrical systems, soldering, wiring, installation, testing and maintenance of electrical installations and work with computer engineering programs and mechanical systems, product design and production parts. Practical training helped raise the qualifications and competence of participants through acquisition of new knowledge, technologies and best practices in engineering and ICT sectors. As a result of the skills and experience gained the employability of participants will be enhanced, meeting the needs of professionals in the targeted sectors. Both Certificates for Practice Completion and Europass Mobility Certificates were issued to attest the acquired practical skills and knowledge, which will significantly expand career opportunities for participants in the targeted sectors. Given the fact that the European youth is now exposed to growing unemployment rates and is strongly affected by the economic crisis, this project helped promote the mobility of young people within Europe and their transition from education and training to labor market. In this regard and in the name of the contribution to sustainable economic prosperity and employability of young people in Europe, the successful implementation of the objectives and optimal results achievement was a prerequisite for improving the quality and efficiency of education and training, social cohesion and inter-cultural dialogue. Desired and achieved effect of the implementation and dissemination of project results to local, regional, national and European level had final reflection in acquisition and development of skills and competencies among participants needed to improve their qualifications, ability and incentive for further education, as well as encouraging partnerships between businesses and educational institutions, broader learning communities with civil society and other stakeholders.
