Qualificação Profissional e Cidadania - Um Desafio para os Jovens Europeus
Start date: Sep 26, 2016, End date: Sep 25, 2018 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The Consortium entities, as well as seven international intermediary organisations and dozens of other partners (companies and training centres), will all be involved in the preparation, mobilities and evaluation phases of this project and will be interconnected to provide project support in the host countries.This project aims to achieve and develop the following objectives: - To Promote the employment of young people in Europe, particularly among the recent graduated students, fulfilling one of the objectives defined by the European Commission and this project itself; - To promote the use of efficient work methods (at the organizational level) and the use of resources and tools; - To contact with the business reality of other EU countries; - To improve the professional performance of young people in other socio-economic contexts; - To develop skills that promote professional projects; - To provide the development of vocational skills relevant to the labor market; - To contact and experience a different socio-cultural reality in a European learning environment; - To acquire and use knowledge, skills and qualifications to promote personal development, employability and mobility. The partners are from five different countries. There are two partners in two of the countries involved because we want to optimize and enhance the opportunities that each of them offers in terms of placing young people in companies.This project will include four different kinds of training programs. The first one is aimed at vocational school graduate students completing their vocational courses; the other one is for students who are attending the second year of their vocational courses; another program is available for young graduates who have completed their courses; finally, it is also expected to carry out internships in companies and schools, involving teachers, technicians and managers of the entities that are part of the Consortium.In what regards the different mobilities, the linguistic and cultural preparation will occur before, during and after the mobilities, through face-to-face training in a classroom context and using the OLS platform.The traineeships with the duration of 6 and 10 weeks are part of the courses’ curriculum and will enable these students to carry out their training in a real context of work in an European country where they can perform experiments in different contexts.The 10 months’ traineeships are avalilable to graduate students, in order to create new opportunities to these young people, making their integration into the labour market easier. These trainships will shorten the effects caused by youth unemployment - a serious social problem in Portugal and in the European Union.Developing these traineeships and simultaneously implementing an individual technical project, is a way to contribute to the implementation of two challenges that are essential to fulfill the students’ plan of studies.We would like to highlight that the beneficiaries of this project live and study in a disadvantaged rural region in the interior of Portugal where an infrastructure and development deficit is clear.The traineeships will occur in different phases, with different flows, starting at different times; they will be held in each of the school years, from the beginning of the 2nd school quarter (end of January) until the end of July.This mobility project is aimed at 87 young people and 12 teachers/technicians from a school population of 1865 students who attend all schools which are part of the Consortium. These students will be direct participants and attend courses from differente areas, such as: Computer science; Electricity and Energy; Administration and Management; Chemistry; Tourism and Hospitality; Chemistry, Health and Multimedia.Students and recent vocational school graduates reside mostly in the North Interior Pinhal region. The beneficiaries of this project are young people between the ages of 16 and 21. There are also about 26 teachers, technicians and managers who will participate in this internship project.This project will provide many short and long-term benefits that will be advantageous to the young beneficiaries’ level of training and qualifications. This experience will provide them with more opportunities and enhance their regional employability. In regards to our school, this project will help us improve our organization skills and work methods. It will also help us integrate models and processes in our practices, thus promoting quality and good results.The region will benefit from the qualifications of human resources and its experience in these projects. As a result, the adoption and influence of organizational models, work methods, processes and tools that companies and organizations use, will improve its level of competitiveness.
