The Erasmus+ project entitled “Transnational mobility – vector of European education and vocational training” proposed by CTEU promotes the enhancement of the quality of professional and for life training through a higher volume and quality of transnational mobility for learning and recognition of LO through ECVET for a number of 78 pupils: X grade- training field Economics and Tourism; XI grade-Economics, qualification “Economic activity technician” and Technical, qualifications “Automation technician” and “Electrical Installations Technician”. The project develops 4 work programmes for our pupils (according to National Professional Standards and national Curriculum; the practical training module “Electronic circuits” is common to both technical qualifications) which comply with the Romanian curriculum but they are as well correlated with competences specific to similar qualifications in the host country, local, regional and European needs. The project aims to reach the following SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES: O1.Development of professional knowledge, competences and skills of the future graduates, in view of optimizing their employability of the European labour market. O2.Development of linguistic, social and personal skills supporting their adjustability to various types of organizational cultures. O3.Promotion and development of international cooperation in education and vocational training. The project activities will be carried out within a period of 2 years, with work-based training stages in VET institutes and companies, 3 weeks/flow in Portugal: Flow 1: 20.03.2017-07.04.2017 ( 8 participants, X grade - economics+8 participants , X grade -tourism+8 participants , XI grade -economic+3 accompanying teachers) Flow 2: 08.05.2017-26.05.2017 (15 participants, XI grade – technical +2 accompanying teachers)Flow 3: 05.03.2018-23.03.2018 ( 8 participants X grade - economic+8 participants ,X grade-turism+8 participants, XI grade-economics+ 3 accompanying teachers)Flow 4: 07.05.2018-25.05.2018 (15 participants, XI grade – technical +2 accompanying teachers) Main activities in the mobility: X grade-Economics: introduction of responsibilities and work programme, health and work safety regulations, reception of goods, qualitative and quantitative verification of goods, fill-in specific documents, establish the components of the retail price, inventory of stocks, use of equipments, management of packaging. X grade-Tourism: introduction of responsibilities and work programme, health and work safety regulations, identification of the organizational structure, reception and registration of tourists, front-office, room and floor services, check-in and check-out operations, fill-in documents, additional services. XI grade-Economics: introduction of responsibilities and work programme, health and work safety regulations, identification of the organizational structure, identification and use of payment instruments (money order, check, receipt, invoice, cash operations, fill-in financial documents, registration of operations with payment instruments in accountability, comply with the circuit of payment instruments, use of specific software. XI grade-Technical: introduction of responsibilities and work programme, health and work safety regulations,identification of types of circuits and their components, measurement of parameters, connection of electronic circuits in installations, detection and repair of defects; The implementation of the project through ECVET supports the valorization of learning through mobility, offering a better understanding and comparison of qualifications in different countries, ensuring the understanding of the objectives of the mobility by all the parties involved and the growth of mutual trust between the partner institutions by validation and recognition of the LO. Though the Romanian educational system has been facing some gaps within the legislation and methodology of implementing ECVET, we believe that every school can contribute by perseverance, professionalism and creative thinking to finding viable solutions able to reformate the Romanian educational system so that school would be able to prepare its students for the realities of life and the labour market. Through the transnational training placements the participants will acquire work experience in a real and performing work and will develop, besides professional competences, skills to communicate in a foreign language, to understand different organizational cultures, to enhance their European citizenship – briefly, all those components appreciated by every employer, regardless the qualification. Through the anticipated impact, the project will also disseminate the benefits of using ECVET and will enhance the visibility of CTEU – elements triggering most positive effects on the employability of future graduates.
