This project will provide participants with a Mobility lasting for 6 weeks, located in Spain, Croatia or Greece, offering meaningful work experience that will be credit bearing and contribute to the participants' Level 2 Certificate in Employability. The project has been developed to respond to the growing challenge of youth unemployment in the UK, providing each participant with an opportunity to develop their personal and professional skills/competences in a real work setting which relate specifically to their Employability qualification as well as being relevant to the specific vocational qualification that they will be working towards.The project will engage young people (typically 17 - 19 years old) who are enrolled in REY Europe's Level 2 Certificate in Employability course. REY Europe deliver this course to a wide variety of students who are enrolled in various FE colleges and are also working towards a vocational qualification. The Employability course we deliver will increase the participants' ability to access and sustain employment. The Employability course is flexible in that it is relevant across all vocational areas and as such, this project will build on REY Europe's previous 5 years experience of delivering Mobility projects, to offer the Mobility opportunities to learners from an array of vocational backgrounds (which include Travel & Tourism, Hair & Beauty, Hospitality & Catering and Construction), who all share common ground in that they are also working toward Certificate in Employability. The work placement that the participants attend will enable them to obtain between 1 and 3 units of their Employability qualification and the placement (related to their vocational course) so that each participant will have their Employability Certificate learning embedded within the context of their vocational area of study. By completing a work placement the participants will develop their practical and theoretical knowledge related to wider employability, by increasing their work experience, soft skills and developing their language competences. 180 participants will be recruited over a 24 month period, typically travel to the host country in cohorts of 20 (with two groups of 10) and 1 - 2 cohorts of participants will travel during each term of the 2016/17 and 2017/18 academic years. Each cohort of participants will complete work placements across the vocational areas of Tourism, Hair & Beauty, Hospitality and Construction, which will provide them with a setting that is suitable to achieve the selected units of their Level 2 Certificate in Employability, whilst gaining relevant experience within the context of their chosen vocational area of study.It is very unlikely that any of our participants will have completed an overseas work placement previously, so we feel that 6 weeks is a realistic time frame for each cohort to adjust both working and living in a new country, whilst gaining meaningful work experience in a structured environment where they will be supported by the host organisation staff throughout the Mobility as well as by their course tutor (Accompanying Person) in weeks 1 and 6 of the Mobility.Depending on the vocational area selected, the participants will complete a number of different tasks which are clearly linked to achieving specific Learning Outcomes within their Certificate in Employability; for example one of REY Europe's Employability students who is also working toward a vocational qualification in Travel & Tourism may work within a Tour Operator. The placements core function will be to address specific units of the Employability Certificate, but will also provide the participant with useful work experience within the context of their vocational study. For example a participant could work towards the 'Teamwork Skills' unit of the Employability Certificate, utilising ECVET to achieve the relevant Learning Outcomes to complete the course unit, and gaining work experience that is relevant to their medium term employment goals. This project then, will achieve multiple outcomes both professionally, personally, academically and within the context of each participants' linguistic development.Each participant will receive preparatory and in-country training to help them to prepare for the Mobility and they will also receive structured support from both their course tutor and line manager within the work placement, who will assist them in achieving their Learning Outcomes. Additionally pastoral support will be provided to the participants outside of their placement, by a local representative who will work on behalf of REY Europe.REY Europe will design, deliver and evaluate the project disseminate results, with input form both the Hosting Organisations and participants where appropriate. The project will make REY Europe's course offering more attractive to future learners and enhance staff understanding of different approaches to work experience placements.
