Um mundo de oportunidades
Start date: Oct 1, 2014, End date: Sep 30, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The project "A world of opportunities" will begin on the 1st October 2014 and will end on the 30th September 2015 and tries to give an answer, on one hand, to the needs and aims of students and recent graduates who want a european dimension of their vocational training and, on the other hand, to support the professional development of teachers. Thus, this project intends to conduct training courses in Ireland and Spain to 10 students of both sexes, that are between 17 and 21years old, who will attend the 12th grade of the Technical Courses of Informatics and Health Support, initial training, level IV in ETPC. The flow will start on the 1st May until the 30th June 2015. Besides this, it will be provided mobility experience to 2 teachers who will travel to different countries in different time periods, namely there will be done a flow to Spain that will take place from the 1st November until the 22nd November 2014 and a flow to Ireland from the 5th April until the 11th April 2015. With this project we intend also to provide a training course to 3 recent graduated students in Spain, whose flow will occur from the 15th October until the 15th December 2014. The participants of this project aim to have a training course in a transnational perspective, in a European country, where they will have a extremely enriching experience for their technical training, professional and cultural development namely by improving their language skills, in addition to a notable personal and social improvement. This mobility is based in collaborations with local authorities, in partnerships created between the host organizations of Ireland, Galway and Roscommon Education & Training Board, and Spain, with INCOMA, in order to provide this training, ensuring its preparation, implementation, evaluation, certification and further dissemination of the results obtained, in terms of knowledge, skills and abilities and good practices in training. Once it makes part of the practical component of the Vocational Courses provided by our school, a training course, integrating students into companies or local institutions, the opportunity to do this project enables innovation in its extremely enriching European dimension to the technical training and empowering of high levels of performance and creativity. Therefore, there is a personal and social enrichment of participants, in terms of citizenship and employability, thus, there is also a promotion of lifelong learning in an international context. Participants will also have an important role in disseminating good practices and opening wider perspectives by living remarkable experiences, hardly possible on other way due to the technical, cultural and linguistic limitative level given by their geographical location and poor economic and socio-cultural environment. Locally, ETPC will continue considering the needs and expectations of its students and teachers and will try to answer to the demands of institutions and enterprises. Undoubtedly, the initiatives of Mobility are important not only to students and professionals who participate on it, but also to national entities that subsequently integrate these individuals in their companies/institutions. In fact, Cantanhede stills a mainly rural region that is currently expanding into industrial and services sectors, requiring the training of mid-level technicians with certified qualifications and promoting innovation and entrepreneurship, anticipating the needs of the labor market in the future. ETPC as professional school, searches visibility of its training offer, that is related with the attractiveness of the motilities in vocational training and aims to contribute to a society of knowledge more competitive, where there is a place to multicultural dialogue and transparency in education and training.
