"TirolerInnen auf der Walz 2014" - „Tyroleans on the Road 2014“ The project objective was to promote the transfer of Tyrolean students in vocational education and Tyrolean apprentices to European companies, offering them possibilities to gain work experience and to improve language skills. During their vocational training learners have increased their professional qualification and employability. We´ve send 93 students and 2 apprentices of Tyrol to companies in Europe. The average training period was about 10 weeks. During their placements trainees have improved their language skills, professional and social competences such as flexibility, persuasiveness, ability to handle work pressure, contact to colleagues/senior staff/external people. They also obtained an insight in other cultures, mentalities and enterprises. The project consists of a network of European intermediaries, receiving enterprises, sending partners of regional companies and vocational education schools (e.g.: secondary schools and colleges) such as the HLW Reutte, HLW Lienz, Zillertaler Tourismusschulen, HTL Fulpmes and Tyrolean companies for example: THÖNI, Binderholz or Westcam GmbH. The project was a long-term strategy in order to offer ongoing EU-granted placements to young Tyroleans. The demand on the part of students in vocational education is increasing, also the number of apprentices taking part. The project was managed and coordinated by the Local Agency Tyrol and it´s experienced staff, in close with the sending institutions as well as with the regional Chamber of Labour and the Tyrolean Government. The special character of the project was the use of expertise of previous projects and established links with social and regional partners. The projects´ information and awareness activities will continue all over the project period, in form of e.g.: press releases, facebook www.facebook.at/bewegdeinleben, entries in (partner) websites etc.
