This project has reinforced our internationalization strategy started in 2015 with the Erasmus+ programme as a strong commitment of our centre which represents a backbone for opening up to Europe. Planning and performing several projects have allowed us to receive a valuable experience and agility in the management of European projects, as well as the cooperation of new partners in other European countries. The objectives to be achieved with this project were, on the one hand, the training of the participants to improve their employability, provide local, national e international companies with better professionals and strengthen the internationalization of the IES Jaime Ferrán Clúa.
