Sharing Skills in Europe IV
Start date: Sep 1, 2014, End date: Aug 31, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

This project was an answer to the needs of youngsters with the 12th grade and qualification level IV of European Qualifications Framework (EQF), graduates from this school in the following courses: fashion design, communication/marketing; interior design, photography and healthcare. Given that the European society is changing all the time, as a result of globalization, it is important that young people receive an updated overview of their respective fields of activity. Through this mobility program, the participants faced, in the different host organizations, different and innovative contents and work methods/techniques. The main objectives of this transnational mobility were, as follows: To contribute to the acquisition of knowledge, skills and qualifications that may facilitate personal development, employability and participation in the European Labour Market by the participants. To promote the increase of qualifications and skills, which improves the competitiveness of the European economy. Improve the transversal skills of the participants: the ability of acceptance/understanding of other cultures, language and communication skills, entrepreneurial spirit, initiative, adaptability, flexibility and sensitivity to issues of quality. In this way, through the workplace training (at the host company), the graduates from this school got added qualifications - getting greater and better technical and vocational skills to enable them to be a middle-position European staff and facilitating their access to the labour market. Through language and cultural training the participants developed personal skills. Fifteen work placements occurred between January and May 2015. Mobility lasted for 2 months in the following countries: Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Spain. After this period, the results of mobility could be assessed and will create an impact internally and externally. This project was based on the cooperation between Magensinus (Escola Professional Magestil) and its partners (intermediate entities) which owning to the fact of being schools and training centers as Magestil and entities aimed at promoting international internship, have established networks of contact with the business fabric of their regions, in the fields for which they train professionals. Magensinus selected its partners by taking into account the overlap between its areas of training and theirs’. Thus, Magensinus ensures that the intermediate entity is prepared to make the right choice of the host organizations. This project strengthened the relationship between training institutions and enterprises in the European Union, has consolidated the connections of the various partners involved (which had already cooperated in previous projects), has contributed to the good opinion of European companies with regard to vocational education, has emphasized the skills uniformity among the technicians from different countries (with the same levels of qualification).
