The Centre of Psycho-Pedagogical Support (Counselling) conducted a study in order to underpin the teaching scheme for the 2016-2017 academic year and the first choice of the 8th grade students in the Arad county was the vocational qualification Hairdresser - Stylist. Hence, the needs at the level of the Francisc Neuman VET College are:- revisit the curricular elements with an international orientation;- recognition of the learning outcomes by certificates accredited at European level;- increased employability of the College graduates - increased opportunities for employers to identify potential staff meeting the needs of the employers- setting up a network of European partners who are in a ongoing collaboration- build a pool of vocational mentors leading to an increased attractiveness of the educational offer in the area of textiles, services, so that these become in high demand by school graduates.Objectives of the mobility project: - develop the vocational competences, practical abilities and work experience in the area of Hairdressing - Stylists and entrepreneurship of 28 tenth grade students and increase their employability; - the personal development (communication, personal and professional relationships, increased independence) of 28 tenth grade students and enhance their personal potential by participating in a three-week transnational mobility placement; - enhanced self-esteem and competitive advantage in the labour market by acquiring the Europass certificate, the Certificates issued by the hosting institutions and the Certificates for the professional competencies acquired, issued by our school post graduation; - understand multiculturalism, diversity and adherence to European values The target group of this project are 28 tenth grade students (half of them in the academic year 2016-2017) undergoing initial vocational training in the vocational area Esthetics and Hygiene of the Human Body. Two three-week flows have been planned in the UK in the 2016-2017 academic year: January 2017 - flow 1; April 2017 - flow 2, each 14 Hairdressing (Stylist) students The work-based learning will be carried out at COLEG CAMBRIA, a renowned Vocational College of Excellence, based in Wales, with a broad educational offer targeting learners of all ages. The learning mobility, as European instrument, will lead to enhanced employability and adaptability of the students beyond geographical and institutional barriers through openness towards education and training per se. The students will improve their skills and professional knowledge, as well as their transversal competences. The project promotes work-based learning, as well as the active and responsible involvement of employers in the educational process. The long-term benefits of our VET College, envisaging the ongoing upskilling of human resources, is an increased awareness on the fact that improved professional performance of staff impacts positively the organisational performance of the institution in a competitive labour market in which active and well-trained employees make the difference, will be reached if the dissemination of the outcomes will reach three specific areas: awareness raising of the partners regarding the activity and results in order to acknowledge the identity of the school; understand the project as applied best practice; activity aiming at transmitting a message leading to organizational change.
