The main objective of Aurrerantz is to offer participants, with special emphasis on those with fewer opportunities, the possibility of taking part in a European professional experience which can increase their professional and personal skills and their employability. In this campaign we have tried to refine two profiles with which we had previosly began to work. Since 2016 we have been providing certificates of professionalism to young people with intellectual disabilities who work in protected employment companies and who need to prove their training. Previously we opted to carry out mobilities with them for the first time and we have been able to verify that carrying out the FCTs (training in work centres) abroad helps to improve their self-esteem and their autonomy on a professional and personal level. We have also wanted to bet on giving a dimension to this internationalization process by including teaching staff in the mobilities, so that all the knowledge they acquire in the job shadowing mobilities can later be disseminated in our center and with our partners.
Aurrerantz is a project in progress since 2007 that seeks to offer participants a European professional experience that helps them improve their professional skills and increase their job opportunities. Our project focuses on various types of mobility: 1. Movilities of FPB students in companies abroad with two different profiles: a. Young people aged 16-21 with low/medium intellectual disability with limited autonomy and who are part of our Task Learning Section (SAT) b. Young people aged 15-19 who have not achieved the minimum objectives of Secondary School and who, in most cases, have self-esteem, family, social, cognitive problems... 2. Internships for Intermediate VET students in centers abroad to carry out a theoretical module plus practices 3. Young people with intellectual disabilities who already work in sheltered employment companies and who are carrying out/have carried out the complete certificate of professionalism and would carry out their FCTs (training in work centres) abroad 4. VET teachers to carry out job shadowing, allowing them to learn about the educational improvements of centers which have been working with them for years
