Erasmus+Key Action1-Mobility project for Vocational Education and Training for Learners
Organisations active in the fields of education, training and youth receive support from the Erasmus+ Programme to carry out projects promoting different types of mobility. The Vocational Education and Training Learners project supports Vocational Education and Training Traineeships abroad up to 12 months.
The activity is open to both apprentices and students in vocational training schools to undertake a vocational training placement in another country. Learners are hosted either at a workplace (in an enterprise or other relevant organisation) or at a Vocational Education and Training school (with periods of work-based learning in an enterprise or other relevant organisation).
