Instituto Cuatrovientos Strategic Plan 2012-2015, has two Strategic Objectives reflected in Strategic Line 3: The internationalization for the development of transnational mobility programmes” and “ systemize the services management of information and labour guidance”. To develop these OBJECTIVES, the school set up the Internationalization and Labour Guidance Projects. As a Vocational Training institution, Instituto Cuatrovientos is committed to carry out the Mobility Projects we are applying for. In fact, as our mission reflects, our final goal is to train people in the labour market requirements.
In this context, this Mobility Project for Education and Training offers an added value for the education of Medium Degree students and graduates and also for our organization staff introducing a European dimension. This project aims to develop and update the personal, professional, and linguistic skills of the participants. The internships and training periods in an English speaking country will enable participants with resourceful skills to have better opportunities in order to get a job. This need has been identified by Artean, the Employment Guidance Department, through our different partners support.
In order to achieve this goal the participants carried out the following ACTIONS using the adequate METHODOLOGY:
• Language, pedagogical and culture training through workshops and the Erasmus Training moodle platform.
• DAPO workshop for the development of professional and personal skills for the labour market.
• Training for the improvement of professional language skills according to the CEFR.
• Job-shadowing in a vocational education institution for teachers in order to enhance their professional skills.
• 3 or 8 week internship in the UK for students, in order to improve their professional, language and personal competences.
• The inclusion of those participants into the Employment Bureau of Artean Cuatrovientos after their return.
This project consisted of 15 PARTICIPANTS: 1 Sales and 1 Administrative Management experts, 10 Sales students and Administrative Management students, a leader and one English teacher coordinating European Projects.
Regarding RESULTS, they affected both the institution and participants. In both cases the centre has its own measuring indicators to evaluate the benefits obtained.

Related certificates will be issued (Europass Certificate, Cambridge Certificate, Cuatrovientos Diploma…).
