For two years, our institution despite its small size, has made internationalization of training and mobility practices a key objective. Our main purpose is to promote a greater employability and acquisition of new skills that could not be acquired in our country by VET students. Our student developed basic and transversal skills, not only digital level (MOODLE learning platform, open educational resources, digital assessment methods, use of specific software for a professional family, etc.) but also a linguistic level ( Improve language knowledge in the host country). We cannot forget that we began this project, because of the socioeconomic context of our institution. This is defined by high levels of unemployment, low income levels, high dropout rate and increasing rate of youth emigration. Our project is aimed to carry out Training Practices in the work place for VET students of VET Administrative Management, The age of participant is 20 years.

Practices are done from April 2015 to June 2015. They will last 10 weeks approximaely, (70 days) with 390 hours of training and 22 ECTS credits. We did one mobility. Our intention was to develop new ways of learning. All actions and contacts with partners and participants will have a MOODLE support, as our institution´s virtual classroom and also the monitoring will be done using ICTs Platforms like mail, GOOGLE DRIVE, SKYPE, LINE, WHATSAPP ? Within our objectives are to enforce employability, and to promote that VET students will be hired by companies, and also using mobility in order to develop, knowledge and skills that match with the needs of the labour market. So the graduate that made the mobility can apply new skills in their family business. We also intended to provide our students tools to deal with the situation of youth unemployment in Spain. This experience will make them mature as citizens, students and future workers. Our project is quantitatively small, so the diffusion and impact of it will be appropriate. Our institution wants to ensure quality training and attract tas much students as possible to the VET, in a crisis environment. We expect that companies in Galicia can benefit from students who did traineeships. We want that our students will be able to achieve maturity and competence to enable them even go to the entrepreneurship. We seek to increase the number of graduates who find work, although it is different for each professional group, up to 25% during the years of the project. Although the project lasts a year, we hope to have it continuously until 2020.
