SDE College wants to develop its existing efforts in international mobility and put forth an extensive and thorough framework for international mobility. 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 as an element in the solutions to these challenges of the future.
