The Centro de Promoção Social – Escola Profissional (Vocational School), founded in 1991, is located in S. Pedro do Sul and has already 23 years of experience in vocational education. It is a certified teaching institution according to the European norm ISO 9001. Nowadays, it counts on 56 teachers of recognized merit and 269 students divided in 13 classes, and it intends the development of an internationalization strategy of the Vocational Education. The project MoveON’14 fits in Key-Action1: the individual mobility for the Erasmus+ program learning. Considering our internationalization project and the school’s training plan, it is our goal to provide mobility training, in a secure context, to three groups of participants considered the target audience as it is now described: Group I – students attending the 2ndyear of the Vocational courses of: Hydrotherapy; Management Informatics; Cooking and Catering; Environmental Management; Group II – students who finished their vocational course less than a year ago (at the date of the mobility experiences) and are unemployed; Group III – our staff, built by four trainers from the specific components of each vocational course, with proper training according to the courses profile. Groups I and II have good technical skills acquired in the training area of its vocational courses, however, they need to improve their social, cultural and linguistic abilities. This project goals are also to strengthen our internationalization strategy and to contribute to the recognition of the education´s European dimension, reinforcing our cooperation with transnational partnerships and to improve the linguistic skills of our target audience. It will allow the participants to have a real perception, both in terms of learning / teaching methods and techniques and of the youngsters’ potentials and preparation needs to an increasingly competitive job market. MoveON’14 includes three mobility experiences activities to distinctive groups, to Bulgaria (20) and Italy (16) with two participants who will accompany the underage youngsters. The durations are divided into 30, 120 and 5 days, respectively. The methodology used through this project is based on the establishment of collaborative partnerships. The EPC established two partnerships, one for Italy with the “Tourism System” and another for Bulgaria with “Bulgaria Getway”, both belonging to the ETN net and of recognized quality. It is through the partnership conjugated efforts and in a confidence and expeditious atmosphere that our ambitions will come true, having each partner different tasks that complement each other towards the MoveON’14 success. It is intended that this experience of direct contact with the European job market has impact in the participants needs, promotes the acquisition, innovation and improvement of key-skills as an added value, besides the foreign languages knowledge, the proactivity, the entrepreneurial spirit and the team work, in a cultural and linguistic diverse environment. Its implementation collaborates with the Erasmus+ goals, since it contributes to the improvement of the cooperation between the international institutions that offer learning opportunities and facilitates the development of innovative teaching practices, namely the use of learning certifications systems (ECVET) and Euro pass Certificate. Local and regionally, the project enables the education European dimension awareness. To our institution, specifically, it has impact in the participants’ course colleagues and also in the improvement of training programs of the different vocational courses. The promotion of innovative teaching practices and the recognition made by the community related to the vocational education quality improvement will be, certainly, one the projects impacts. The project will provide an opportunity for many local youngsters be able to participate in training experiences that gives them an open door to an European level job market. The acquired skills will be, for the regional businessmen, an enrichment of human capital in the recruitment of these young people. Nationally, this project may have impact in reducing the unemployment rate and improving the productivity rates in the medium term, in contributing to a better performance of our companies’ competitiveness and to show the country’s involvement in transnational projects. With this project, we contribute to our Europe’s strategic goals to 2020, namely the smart, sustainable and inclusive growth.
