This project had the overall objective to improve the quality of VET provision, by enhancing its European dimension. The specific objectives divided for target groups were: - To implement internships abroad for students of the VET schools in the consortium. - To improve the key competences and professional competences in participating students, thus filling the gap with those needed by the local business sector for economic development. - To make the participants and teachers used to European mobility and its instruments. - To improve the competences of teachers in managing European projects. For the consortium proposing VG+, this was an opportunity to boost the attractiveness of VET by enhancing its European dimension and consolidate working procedures to make European mobility an integrated part of the VET education at regional
The project “Västra Götaland’s students on Erasmus+ for the competences of tomorrow” (VG+) started off with the intention of improving the internationalisation of the VET system as an element of quality outlined by the European Policies of the last decade. The idea was to introduce for the first time VET mobility in the schools of Vänersborg and Trollhättan through the joint efforts of the local authorities, which have collaborated to put in place an international strategy strongly focused on making transnational activities a “normal” part of curricula.
