VIMOB Pforzheim e.V. (Association for International Mobility) offers In the EU-Program ERASMUS+ in cooperation with the SJR Betriebs GmbH – Stadtjugendring Pforzheim job placements from September 2015 until May 2017 in England (Totnes/ Devon AND London), in Ireland (Dublin) and in Italy (Vicenza/ Veneto). The English-spoken partners are the „Language in Totnes“, the „Language in London“ and the „Language in Dublin“. They are all member of „Language in Group“. The Italian partner is EUROCULTURA. Vicenza is the twin town of Pforzheim. For the placement abroad, the participant receives grants from the European Programme ERASMUS+. The programme lasts for 14 weeks and is open to applicants (18 years of age and over) from all over Germany with a completed apprenticeship. The maximal funding period is a one year time frame which begins once the apprenticeship is finished. The participants attend language classes before their job placements to improve their language skills. The programme is mainly aimed at applicants from the skilled trades, the jurisdiction of the Chamber of Commerce and the commercial sector (other professions on request). Start dates are several times a year. On the one hand, the language can be learned and improved and on the other hand the placement offers a profound insight into the respective local professions. In the job placement projects funded by the European Commission (in Germany www.na-bibb.de) we have further partners, such as the Association of German Chambers of Industry and Commerce - including the support of 40 mobility consultants located throughout the country at the Chambers of Craft and Industry and Commerce, the administrative City Council of Pforzheim, the Karlsruhe Regional Authority and many others.
