The mobility project "AZUBI Plus" starts on 01.07.2013 and ends on 31.05.2016. The aim of the project is to offer its participants internships abroad in all EU program countries in order to improve their international, professional and foreign language competence and to expend their knowledge of the work processes of the target country. The project leader supports its participants through an intensive intercultural and language preparation and guidance throughout the whole internship duration. AZUBI Plus aims to provide internships and studies abroad for pupils in vocational training, graduates of vocational training (up to 12 months after training), teachers/ trainers of vocational institutions, school leaders and people in companies who are responsible for training. The learners should benefit by fostering the development of international vocational, intercultural and language skills, new cultures, experience on the international labor market during an internship lasting from 3 to 6 weeks. The teaching staff should benefit from 2 to 5 days job shadowing and study visit by exchanging working methods with their European colleagues within the education system as well as in the workplace. Furthermore, the target group should serve as promoter and disseminator on local as well as regional level by boosting mobility and free movement of the European Union. AZUBI Plus is open to all vocational areas and offers tailored internships abroad to suit the needs of every participant. All participants can chose the host organization (relevant to their profession), as well as the duration, the period of the internship, and the destination country (within the program countries) according to their individual professional needs. Every participant receives an Europass mobility after successfully finishing the internship as a tool for recognition of skills and competencies acquired abroad.
