Objectives

The main objective of the UpVET project has been to set up good quality placements, in line with the profile of the participants that could give good results in terms of Learning Outcomes. The mobilities were carried out just before the end of the project, because we preferred to wait for a complete recovery of the general economic situation and find suitable companies for students. Inclusion was another focal point of the project. In the selection phase we have introduced indicators to give more opportunities to students with particular socio-economic, family and educational difficulties. Another priority objective has been to implement the internationalization plan with KA229, KA202, KA3 projects , which represented a key tool to offer additional mobility opportunities to students and trainers, to work in network with VET schools, to welcome Erasmus students in the companies of the area .

Background

The "UpVET - Upgrading VET, Towards a Standard Credit System" project represents the fourth year of the KA109 Mobility Charter, started in 2016. The project is set at the end of a cycle focused on the constant improvement of the quality of the internships, the increasingly significant involvement of the school community, the training of the staff, the creation of a quality reference system, the attention to inclusion, the raising of foreign language skills and the constant implementation of the internationalization strategy that gradually turned into a wider audiences of participants.
