SDE College wants to develop its existing efforts in international mobility and put forth an extensive and thorough framework for international mobility and international cooperation. Europe will in the coming years face challenges like demographic change, higher unemployment, skill gaps, a need for a higher skill level, less and less traditional training, problems with retention of students, youth unemployment and a lack of apprenticeships. Therefore SDE College wants to build for the future and ensure that we will continue to offer vocational education and training of the highest quality. SDE College consider international mobility and international cooperation as a critical element in the solutions to these challenges of the future. Objectives of the project: * Students acquire international experience and related skills for working internationally * Students acquire new knowledge in form of new practices * Students develop linguistic and intercultural competences * Students increase their self-esteem and confidence in own capabilities * Provide students with a framework for successful internships abroad * Improve student's chances of future employment * Improve students' opportunities to travel and work within the European labor market * Develop teachers and other employees’ international expertise * Provide teachers with international teaching possibilities and improve their qualifications * Strengthen the school's international profile * Improve the overall quality of VET * Implementation of the European Credit System for VET (ECVET) in the context of mobility as part of the student's education.
