Craft College, along with educational activities, implements policies of connecting VET and labour market. Therefore we have included 40 VET students, who are finishing education this year, into this project which makes it possible for them to participate in practical work during their 3 week stay in Germany and Italy. Project was developed with support from the local community, related educational authority from the City of Zagreb and Zagreb County. Cooperation with VET schools, which were founded by the above mentioned organisations, on informing potential participants into the project , as well as in the candidate selection, is a common undertaking which will make it possible for all interested parties to ensure that 40 young people undergo practical training in Germany and Italy (20 in each country). Partner from DE KWVD, and from IT Sabcontact, have been included in connecting vocational education and practical experience, will find local SME and mentorship, as they have done before, through several successful LDV projects, as hosts. In their 3 weeks of practical experience, students will enhance and advance their competences, gain experience in international work, get to know work conditions and responsibilities better, gain added knowledge and experience which will enhance their competitiveness on EU and HR labour markets. Clear criteria of selection: an enviable result was achieved during education and practical work, occupations with low demand (according to data by Croatian Employment Service), they will be encouraged to take an affirmative approach towards every day work assignments, and to undergo further training and strengthening of linguistic competences. Following occupations will be included: central heating, water and gas installers/ household repair personnel, mechanics, bakers, will be doing practical work in Germany), while carpenters, tailors and leather ware workers, gardeners/florists, hospitality occupations (cooks/confectioners) will be doing practical work in Italy. Each group will be made of appr. 4 students per occupation. Country for practical experience was selected by analysing real crafts and SME sectors for organising practical experience – engineering, technical, mechanical etc. for Germany, and wood, textile, design, leatherworking, agriculture, hospitality industry for Italy. For each occupation, a detailed plan will be developed, in cooperation with SME offering practical experience. Project foresees the involvement of Craft College staff, which will spend 7 days in ECIPA, a partner institution founded by craftsmen association, same as Craft College, to cater to the needs of its members (craftsmen and SMEs). The aim of this mobility project is to enhance competences and skills related to development and implementation of educational programmes based on the needs of craftsmen and SMEs, to contribute to a cohesive society, and broadening the opportunities educational mobility. Efficient cooperation between education training and labour is the primary aim of Craft College, and participation in this project will ensure its growth as an educational institution. SMEs for the core of Craft College's target group, along with unemployed persons which are looking to start their own businesses but show a low level of business competence. College staff will in this mobility, through direct exchange of experience and ideas, gain additional knowledge from ECIPA related to curricula and methodology. Programmes directed towards enhancement of SME competences are going to be considered during job shadowing. Participating in this mobility will enhance their competences in work, methodology, train of trainers, and introducing the new ICT tool – Moodle and teaching and curriculum contents – will be visible results of the project which will ensure its sustainability. We will compare curricula, counselling with opening new businesses, programmes for workers of founder associations, counselling to SMES for national and international activities, and support and monitoring of young/new entrepreneurs. This project will ensure professional development of participants and strengthen collaboration of partners. Project activities will ensure enhancement of skills during the entire life, mobility of students and VET experts and connects education to labour market (Europe 2020), work based learning, internationalisation and strengthening of everyone involved in VET, as well as exchange of best practice examples for strengthening institutions participating in this project (The Bruges Communiqué). Project results will promote VET in dissemination together with participants and partners according to prior defined activity schedule, which will be used to track the activities and evaluate the project in all phases. Participant level evaluation will be conducted before and after the mobility. Participants will be awarded with Europass mobility certificate and language course certificate.
