This EU project offer full-time students in the FE/VET sector the opportunity to complete a certified mandatory part of thier course of study in another country through the completion of a recognised and EU validated (EUROPASS) placement with an employer who is acknowledged as an expert in their field. Placements are organised by education & training partners who have excellent quality assurance processes & access to innovative placements . All placements will be organised to meet the learning needs of the pparticipants & correspond to their course of study while adding additional employability options. Our proposal addresses the continuing – life long learning needs for additional and further training as proposed in Europe 2020, in that it intends to offer our participants opportunities to acquire additional skills and experiences in an international setting. Placements similar to these are not available to participants from a rural disadvantaged region in Ireland. The project targets areas of best practice in several vocational sectors. It is also our intention that the participants would develop additional or new language skills by participating in the project as well as enhancing their professional & communication skills.
