Period: 2004 - 2010 The Eurolinks programme- covering Leonardo Mobility Exchange and Placements - started in 2004. Since the Call 2005 the programme has been continued by the newly founded ROC van Twente under the supervision of its International Office (IO). The International Mobility flows in IVT and Vetpro grew: uniformity in process and regulations - improved quality - led to an increased impact within the institution. Result: continuously growing numbers of participating ROC-departments and participants - IVT as well as Vetpro - in successive Calls 2005, 2006 , 2007,2008, 2009 and 2010. In the meantime a number of basic improvements was implemented : - improvement of ROC internal procedures: in 2008 the project administration was incorporated in the ROC project office ( back- and front office) - a internal network of coordinators internationalization ( on MBO College and team level) has been installed - supporting procedures and tools were developed and implemented on ROC level: ROC van Twente Guideline for International Mobility, Digital Application Form, Insurance Brochure etc. - a large international network of reliable exchange partners in (almost) all European countries was developed Overall a strong organization, capable of implementing international mobility projects, was created. Since 2011 In 2011 board and managementeam ROC van Twente launched a new strategy document on Internationalization in 4 perspectives: Student, Employee, MBO College and ROC van Twente. With regard to student- and staff mobility new policies and objectives were defined, to be implemented in future mobility calls: 2011, 2012, 2013 and current Erasmus Plus Call 2014. Student Mobility Policy: Competence-based learning is in the heart of our VET. We offer an inspiring learning environment in which students can develop professional as well as social competences. Through an international workplacement abroad, participation in study tours, exchanges and international projects students get the opportunity to improve their professional, communication and intercultural skills in an international setting. Objective: strenghtening the employability by developing international competences. Staff Mobility Policy: participation in international mobility and activities reinforces the professional, didactic and pedagogical skills of staff. By participating in international activities (study visits, language trainings or workplacements abroad) teachers will be able to share and enrich their professional expertise and to reflect on their own educational and teaching concepts from different perspectives. It will motivate and revitalize them. Objectives: - professionalizing staff and improving the quality of VET - creating awareness of the international dimension in VET /labour market developments - orientation in the international branch-specific VET- field Since then management and staff of ROC van Twente work- with renewed enthusiasm - on the realization of the strategy and the objectives. In the implementation of the Mobility IVT and Vetpro Call 2013 this has now led to an explosion of student and teacher mobility. Mid-term (June 2014) the available budgets allocated for the Call 2013 IVT and VETPRO are already deployed. With the help of this Erasmus Plus Mobility Application Eurolinks X ROC van Twente emphatically wants again to stimulate this growth and expansion: objectives per activity / target group in numbers of participants Activity 1: Staff training abroad 10 Activity 2: Training/teaching assignments abroad 40 Activity 3: VET learners in companies 150 Activity 4: VET learners in vocational institutes 30 Total: student mobilities 180 per year, Staff mobilities 50 per 2 year. In the past 10 years a broad international network of education and business partners has been established. Reliable partners who have created an added value in previous mobility Calls (and other international projects). They are quite familiar with ROC van Twente (quality-) requirements concerning international workplacements and staff training/internships Attention: meanwhile some 100 partners are participating in the Eurolinks program. In the Mobility Call 2013 the most active (65) were listed ; partners - mostly being companies and institutions – have not yet all applied for a PIC Code( or are still in the process) and could therefore not being included in this application. It is expected that the data will be available at the midterm and final reports. Overall results Eurolinks I – X ( 2004 – 2014): excellent performances in the successive mobility calls and good scores and assessments in the consecutive midterm and final reports.
