The project submitted under the 2020 call integrated from the beginning the target changes approved during the implementation of the Plus-MUSE&SMART 2 project. Numerically the project envisaged 200 short mobilities, for students in the fourth year of secondary school, and 50 PRO mobilities, aimed at newly qualified/qualified. Both types of target include young people who have acquired basic professional technical skills in the educational field: the international internships permit them to approach the job market and to start a specific professionalization. The project has pursued the following objectives: - reinforce non-formal learning opportunities for participants, i.e. the appropriation of a professional attitude in a working environment; - improve professional skills; - stimulate the improvement of competences targeting innovation; - favour a more rapid entry into the world of work; - improve linguistic and transversal skills to be applied in professional and social contexts. Additionally, thanks to a dedicated staff training programme, skills in the management of mobility, especially with regard to the selection of participants and ongoing monitoring, have definitely been improved.
The Autonomous Province of Trento is a VET Mobility Charter 2014-2020 accredited institution. Under the Charter, the Province has implemented the PLUSMUSE (2017 call - EAC / A03 / 2016), the PLUS-MUSE & SMART projects (2018 call - EAC / A05 / 2017) and the PLUS-MUSE&SMART 2 (2019 - EAC/A03/2018). In full continuity, the two programmes have been followed by the PLUS-MUSE & SMART 3 (under the 2020 call - EAC/A02/2019), which has further broadened the set of interventions aimed at young people, with a view to bridging the gap between education and training and the world of work. Using both own and ESF funding, the Province has actually been carrying out multiple programmes, such as language summer courses, school year or semester abroad, financial support to secondary schools for the organization of internship programmes, support to training and vocational training courses for adults. In this perspective, the PLUS-MUSE & SMART 3 project has, no less than the previous projects under this Charter, made it possible to integrate the different programmes into a long-standing training agenda to be further strengthened under the 2021-2027 Charter accreditation.
