Presentation
In most European countries there is the possibility of experiencing local workplace training at a national level; for which are several guidelines and materials for ensuring its quality. When this placements become an international mobility experience, there are more constrains and more variables that must be taken into account in order to make this experience successful.
The different players taking part on international workplace training often face difficulties that restrain the participation of students and graduates in mobility programmes. (for instance: SMEs that think it would be very difficult to host foreign students, teachers that would like to encourage their students to take part in placements abroad but they don't know how to find the companies for them, students that do not take the risk of an international workplace training as they are not sure if the experience will be successful, etc..) The goal of this project is to facilitate the procedures of international workplace training to teachers, coordinating organizations, students, and companies through an easy handbook translated into each national language. By using this handbook, companies, students and teachers will find it easier to take part in the existing mobility programmes; Therefore, increasing participation in international placements is expected.
A complementary objective is to take the first steps for developing a future European network for international workplace training for initial vocational training students to assist SMEs, IVET teachers and IVET students to take part in future international mobility experiences while ensuring a high quality standard.
