TRAIN is a result of a thorough analysis of the needs of the market and of the professions required, conducted by the members of the consortium through the direct comparison between the teachers of VET institutions, students, companies and organizations.The analysis reveals a gap between the skills required by the market and those actually possessed, both technical and lingual as well as a widespread lack of knowledge of the business world. In particular, companies have detected poor abilities in the specific area of territorial/local development and lackof soft skills and social.The analysis outlined the training needs thus enabling a shared definition of the project, its educational objectives and the type of internships. Therefore, the objectives of the project are: -to support the students in acquiring skills (knowledge, skills and attitudes) in order to contribute to their professional development for a wider employability in the labor market; -to promote the personal growth of the participants, the intercultural and language learning and a sense of belonging to Europe; -to promote in students the opportunity to start international contacts, for active participation in society and the development of awareness of European citizenship The project aims to contribute to the development of skills in field of the development of the local area and in a perspective of a environmental sustainability, of high standard of services, through the use of communication techniques and innovative tourism marketing.
