IET-IV is the fourth edition of the Erasmus+ project of Escola del Treball de Barcelona (EdT), framed in the Center's Internationalization Strategy, aim to strengthen our structure, the human resources and the procedures of the international mobility program that endow the EdT of an international dimension from which the whole educational community (students and teachers) could benefit. With this project we have intended that our school, one of the most important in vocational training in the whole country, improves the quality of their educational programs, introducing activities that benefit in their educational work, making it more attractive, innovative and in context with the European labor market. As a reference center in vocational eduation and training (for its variety of specialties, its size and its potential), we have bet on keeping participating in the projects developed in the European common area of education, recognizing the merits acquired by students in training schools through the participation in internships in foreign companies. We believe that this project is clearly committed to strengthe the employability of our students. The project, managed by an international coordination team of EdT, has had the support of different national and international partners that have helped in the realization of short internship mobilities for students and mobilities for teachers (job shadowing).
