The results we wish to achieve via this mobility is to help employability open new paths towards modern technologies and working mobility in EU. The impact will traverse the educational and the enterprise sector providing solid foundations for future integration of training programs which will benefit not only our Institute and region but also the involved countries on a European and international level. The work mobility opportunity will also affect locally, regionally, nationally as well as on a European and international level after the dissemination of the work placements results. The Institution will be able to continue satisfying the large numbers of students which expect their specialization to be send in an Erasmus+ project like the previous years selected fields. In the long term VET will receive the attractiveness its work opportunities and the openness in EU.
