The primary objectives of the project were to • Support the aspirations of VET learners by providing them with work experience to enhance their recently developed vocational skills • Assist VET learners in moving into future employment in their chosen sectors in Ireland or across Europe • Enable participants to develop linguistic and cultural skills essential to accessing employment in other countries within the European market • Enhance links between our VET provision and employers in these sectors to support pathways from VET courses into the world of work.
The Erasmus PRO for Community Development, Digital Media and the Creative Industries 2019 project (CDDMCI) was undertaken in order to provide our VET learners the opportunity to gain valuable European work experience within the community development, digital media and creative industries sectors. Through the provision of European work placements, the project aimed to provide a valuable and essential bridge for participants from their vocational training to employment or self-employment in their chosen sector, increasing their overall chances of labour market success in Ireland and across Europe. Our participants worked towards earning a range of VET qualifications related to their target sectors and accessed mobilities designed to develop workplace skills in an international context and provide significant vocational, professional and career development benefits.
