The project envisaged the achievement of both formative and strategic objectives. The training objectives were more related to transnational mobility activities and the specific training needs of the target groups to which the project was addressed; the strategic objectives, on the other hand, were designed on the basis of the systemic needs of SCF and its associates and had a greater impact on the political and organizational systems. The training objectives achieved by the project were - the acquisition of technical - vocational competences of the IVET learners (3rd and 4th year in particular) and/or the reinforcement of the same; - the strengthening of the language, digital and intercultural skills of the learners and staff involved in the project; as well as the soft skills most in demand on the labour market (analysis, collaboration skills, problem solving, resilience) - the acquisition of technical and professional skills for the IVET staff. In relation to the strategic objectives we mention - strengthening capacity building in the management of internationalization processes; - integration of transnational mobility of IVET learners in the formal learning pathways.
The project was submitted to answer to the training needs of trainees and staff from the national network of Scuola Centrale Formazione. In particular, the project fulfilled to the following needs: - the internationalization of the technical-professional skills of IVET trainees through apprenticeship and vocational training experiences abroad in geographical areas of sectoral development (tourism/restaurant, wellness, automotive, industrial mechanics, graphics, electrical and thermo-hydraulic maintenance, agri-food processing, agriculture) - the promotion of the transversal skills required by the labour market, useful for developing awareness and integration and collaboration skills, as well as problem solving and analysis; - the increase of pupils' and staff's key competences (linguistic and digital) as well as of their sense of European citizenship through the comparison with their peers abroad, the discovery of the other, the intercultural dimension; - the update of the skills of IVET professionals, through study visits and tailored training courses on specific topics related to didactic methodologies applied to the relevant professional sectors.
