                         Deva FP 2016project  involves  IES Isla de la Deva, of  Asturias (Spain), which is a public Vocational training school, as  sending partner, and a total of 7 companies, acting as intermediary and hosting  partners, in Italy, Malta and Germany. There will be 12 student  training mobilities   and 3  staff training mobilities.Staff mobilities  will have a duration of 7 days, being aimed at teachers who tgive teachiong in vocational training, primarily the FCT module.Students  are enroled in our "Nursing Assistant",  "Electrical Installations and Automation"  and"Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Systems" courses, and   will conduct workplacement in companies  for a month as part of the  Training at Work module or early-stage practices. In general, students have basic training in Secondary Education and are receiving vocational training. In most cases, their language skills in foreign languages are very limited.In the crisis context ,  with youth unemployment rates  very high in Asturias,, we believe that our project can make a small contribution in opening up possibilities for obtaining a first job to young graduates in Vocational Education in two ways :1) Incorporating the "culture of mobility" to these participants, who can see to get a job in another country not as an illusion but as a real opportunity. 2) The increase of their skills both in the professional, linguistic, social, cultural and personal field, which makes them distinct from the rest of job seekers.Main activities:1) Selection of participants: June/ January-March 2) Select the accompanying teacher: September 3) Selection of host companies: September- October / January-February 4) Linguistic and cultural preparation: September-November / January-May 5) Logistic management, accommodation, associated documentation (European Health Insurance Card , passports, etc.): September-November  / March-May 6) Definition of the training program, activities and working hours: September-November / March-May 7) Mobility Development  : November-December / May-June .8) Europass-Mobility Document management , accrediting and assessment reports of companies and sending partners certifications: December -January / June-JulyObjectives and results:- Improve the “mobility culture” in a weak mobility group, which will be the future workers of the UE.- Acquire professional skills that facilitate labour market access.- Improve skills in UE languages.- Foster knowledge of different educational and working systems in the different states of the UE.- Provide added value to the “curriculum vitae” of the participants with the “Europass-Mobility”- Develop social, interpersonal and transversal basic skills, as autonomy, responsibility, initiative, respect for multiculturalism, etc.Impact:On participants, first, obtaining the title of Technician as a result of having achieved the levels of professional competence related to the Training at Work module, personal enhancement, enrichment of the curriculum vitae for the stay abroad and improving  their   Italian level. All this will increase their chances of continuing further studies and their ability to join the workforce.On IES Isla de la Deva,  the development of the project will enable us to strengthen the process of internationalization of the organization, to improve the positioning of  Vocational Education among  students  and teachers, improve the attractiveness of our educational offer,  our external image and increase our projection at local and regional level.Long-term benefit:Strengthening ties between European countries, promotion of tolerance and multiculturalism, increased levels of mobility among professionals , increase in the numbers of students of Vocational training, and improving the relationship between the education sector and the labor market.
