CAUDETE EN EUROPA: JUNTOS SOMOS +
Start date: Jun 1, 2016, End date: May 31, 2017 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Our project "CAUDETE IN EUROPE: TOGETHER WE ARE+", gathers in a consortium of 4 partners, coordinated by Caudete City Council, different local VET institutions from the educational and training for employment sectors, all of them having the common goal of providing their recent VET graduates with an international experience through a period of traineeship in another European country, which will allow them to improve their knowledge of foreign languages as well as to develop professional and transversal skills relevant for their employability.The project also includes a staff training activity (job-shadowing) that will result in the strategic development of the organizations involved by means of coming into contact with new innovative teaching methodologies and European tools for recognition and transparency of learning outcomes such as ECVET.The activities planned to obtain the expected results are:-17 VET recent graduates mobilities, with a duration of 30 days, who will undertake a vocational training workplacement , in enterprises or other relevant organizations (local public authority) in Italy and Portugal, all of them being related to the fields of work of the students:>3 recent graduates of Intermediate VET Diploma Technician in Telecommunications Installations.>3 recent graduates of Intermediate VET Diploma Technician in Assistance to People in Need of Care.>3 recent graduates of Intermediate VET Diploma Technician in Administrative Management.>2 recent graduates of VET Training for Employment Studies leading to Professional Certificate level 2 Oxifuel Gas and MIG/MAG Welding.>4 recent graduates of VET Training for Employment Studies leading to Professional Certificate level 2 Hygiene, Depilation and Make-Up Beauty Services.>2 recent graduates of VET Training for Employment Studies leading to Professional Certificate level 2 Handling and Maintenance of Agriculture Machinery.-1 staff training mobility (job-shadowing), with a duration of 4 days, in 2 hosting organizations in Italy.The project will use Europass (Curriculum Vitae Europass, Europass Mobility Document and Europass Suplement to the Diploma or Professional Certificate) as a tool for the recognition and transparency of the learning outcomes obtained through the mobility experience.The Members of the consortium, all sending organisations, are Caudete City Council, Caudete VET Secondary School and 2 private companies which are certified training centers teaching Training For Employment VET studies leading to Professional Certificates.The European partners of the consortium are 2 VET Secondary Schools and an association of teaching staff working on innovative teaching methodologies in Italy, as well as a private intermediary partner in Portugal, 9 private companies and a public local organization, which are the hosting partners in this country.The profile of students coming from the VET Secondary School is that of over 18 years old people, without international experience and low level of foreign languages. This lack of international experience has led the consortium to apply for the grant for an accompanying teacher in the proposal budget.As to participants coming from the Training For Employment centers, it is necessary to add two characteristics to those previously mentionned: they are mostly unemployed people who are trying to come back to the labour market and/or people with problems of social exclusion. These profiles appoint our project as one tackling Equity and Inclusion issues, which are in the core of Erasmus+ Programme.The project intends that participants undertake a traineeship period in another European country. This experience will allow them to put into practice the knowledge and skills adquired through their previous VET studies and which appear detailed in Europass Suplement to the VET Diploma or Professional Certificate. Moreover, they will improve their knowledge of foreign languages and will have and international experience that will make them assume new risks and responsabilities and will result on their personal and professional development.This project has been thought as a global strategy to internationalize VET Education and Training in Caudete by means of including traineeships in companies/organisations of other European countries for recent graduates as part of the offer related to VET studies.Acting as a consortium allows the partners to profit from the knowledge and experience of the others and generates enriching synergies that woul not arise otherwise, as well as a greater and global local impact of the project.The dissemination of the project is expected to have a significant impact, beyond the partners themselves, in the province and geographical area of Caudete, with regards to organizations working on the Training for Employment sector, in which Erasmus+ Programme is still quite unknown.
