The project is aimed at 7 students of training cycles degree of professional families "Administration and Management", "Hotel and Tourism" and "Food Industry", with an average age of 25 years, being one of under eighteen.

A very positive point of the Erasmus + project for Vocational Training Middle Grade, has been the increase in the amount of the grant received by participants, which has allowed agreements with new companies in some “high standard of living “countries, as well as has given an opportunity for students in disadvantaged economic scenario to do their vocational training period abroad. Likewise, the decision to offer the entire period of training in companies (FCT) abroad has been an aspect highly valued by students.
Two of the students participating in the program continue working outside Spain, within the European Union, while others have decided to continue their studies in vocational training of higher degree, convinced that a complete vocational training is a must for their professional future.
The positive impact of this project on students has been reflected in the fact that it has exceeded the number of applications received to participate in subsequent mobility projects.
