Objectives

The objectives of the project were: 1. Acquiring competences specific to the electrical/electromechanical general training field, by 32 participants, in order to increase the relevance of the workplace learning outcomes through internships organisation in partnerships developed with the economic agents abroad, in order to improve the transition from school to active life; 2. Acquiring for 32 participants, transferable key competences, required by vocational training (communication in a foreign language, teamwork, taking responsibility for the task received, respect for technological discipline, development of cultural sensitivity; 3. Integrating the competences, obtained by the 4 VET teachers, participating in mobility, into the current activity of monitoring and evaluating the traineeships, through the opportunity to experiment the new strategies and methods learned and curricular/methodical tools (new CLD, (sheets for) practical evaluation, observation sheets); 4. Developing the capacity to manage internationalization strategies through 4 sustainable partnerships between highschool and electrical/electromechanical companies in another country,in order to provide future opportunities in the field of vocational training.

Background

The project entitled-Exploring workplace Learning through European Competences,Transferable skills and Resources In a Collaborative Context-was aiming at increasing the employability capacity and improving the career perspectives of electric/electromechanic students, through promoting European workplace learning, and also improving VET teachers competences through transferring the best practices in the field of education from other countries,in order to better organize the local internships.The context of the implementation of the project was closely related to the training needs of the students in the traditional qualifications of the school,the need for specialized training beeing as close as possible to the real context of the labor market,but also to create opportunities for the permanent education, in the spirit of key competencies covered by the National Education Law.Moreover,the analysis of the needs carried out at the school level,highlighted the need for VET teachers to perfect themselves in the development/adaptation of the local curriculum,in order to respond better to the requirements of local economic agents,but also for developing assessment tools appropriate to the skills acquired by students during the internships
