Language teachers and teamers from Denmark, Finland, Germany and Slovakia all contributed to its development.It offers an opportunity to learn a foreign language while focussing on job-related content matter. Accordingly, it can promote communication at the workplace and provide a feeling of greater self-assurance in the host country.It will be available both as an online learning programme and as a CD-ROM and is designed for those without prior knowledge of the given language. It is set up to simulate a potential practical training and is divided up into ten "travel days". By means of dialogues and exercises, it should impart practical language usage needed for living and working in the given country and profession. In this phase of the project, Danish for the mechatronic profession and Finnish for the plumber and fitter profession are now available .

They will be clearly described in an e-portfolio and can be documented in “europass language passport”.
