📅 Yesterday we had the opportunity to attend the ProTalento FP Forum in Cantabria, the first meeting of its kind in the region, organized by CEOE-CEPYME Cantabria in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and Vocational Training of Gobierno de Cantabria, CaixaBank Dualiza and the Cantabria Chamber of Commerce. ▶ This event represents a crucial step in strengthening the relationship between companies and educational centers, in order to adapt Vocational Training to the demands of the labor market and improve youth employability. We were enriched by the presentations and networking among professionals committed to education and employability in Cantabria. ℹ Since 2013, we have been pioneers in Cantabria in hosting Dual Vocational Training students, working closely with educational centers to offer practical training adapted to the real needs of our sector. 🎯 We have focused on key areas such as machining, maintenance and administration, contributing directly to students acquiring specific knowledge that complements their academic training and prepares them to face the challenges of the working world. 🤝 Our experience and commitment to Dual Vocational Training allows us to contribute to the development of young talent in the region, supporting the creation of a collaborative network between companies and educational centers. In every such opportunity, we reaffirm our commitment to train the professionals of the future and build a connection between learning and practice, ensuring that new generations have a solid foundation for their professional careers. We continue to bet on local talent! 🚀 #vocationaltraining #dualvocationaltraining #education #training #learning

🌍 EUClass Alliance Network: Bridging Vocational Training and University Across Europe The EUClass Alliance Network launches on November 4, 2024, creating an innovative bridge between vocational training and academia to address Europe’s changing economic and social landscape. This project, led by ENAC Ente Nazionale Canossiano ETS and including the University of Trento (UNITN), unites VET institutions from Italy, Spain, Estonia, Finland, Greece, and the Netherlands. This unique collaboration reflects a vision of combining practical VET training with academic research to meet the needs of Generation Z and beyond. Starting with an online meeting, followed by an in-person gathering in december inn Verona, Italy, the project’s early stages will focus on aligning goals and strategies across borders. UNITN brings critical research insights on employment trends and pedagogy to the project, while VET partners offer on-the-ground expertise, creating a shared framework to shape the future of vocational education. With a mission to strengthen VET’s role across Europe, this partnership fosters international collaboration, enabling skill-sharing and mobility for students and educators alike. As the project progresses, EUClass is set to elevate VET as an adaptable, robust educational model, contributing to both social and economic development in Europe. #VET2Sustain #Sustainability #VocationalEducation #GenZ #Innovation #EUProjects #VocationalEducation #EuropeanEducation #InclusiveAndDigitalVET

📢 Happy to share a short video with a copy of the slides of my presentation at the event "Connecting Pathways: Erasmus+ Mobilities in VET", organised by Maria Gomez Ortueta and her team at SEPIE - Servicio Español para la Internacionalización de la Educación 🌍 During the event, we discussed the vital role of EU support in driving VET learner and Apprentice mobility, and its transformative impact on skills and employability across Europe. 🔹 Key Messages Covered: 🚀 Boosting Access to Mobility: To reach the ambitious EU targets—8% of VET learners in mobility by 2025 and 12% by 2030—making international learning experiences an integral part of vocational education. ✅ Ensuring Quality: Implementing Erasmus+ standards and EQAVET descriptors and indicators to create high-impact, quality experiences that prepare learners for a global workforce. 🛠️ Removing Barriers: By tackling qualification recognition and simplifying administration, we can make it easier for learners and organizations to participate in mobility initiatives. 🤝 Engaging Networks: Leveraging alliances like #EAfA, Euro App Mobility, European Apprentices Network, EuroApprentices Germany, and #CoVE to build resources, share knowledge, and foster a collaborative ecosystem in VET. 🌐 Internationalizing VET Institutions: Encouraging VET providers to innovate, connect with global industry partners, and drive excellence. 🌱 Empowering Companies and SMEs: Supporting businesses to engage in mobility programs, aligning skills training with labor market needs. 💡 Highlighting Social and Economic Impact: Mobility doesn’t just benefit individuals; it strengthens social cohesion and boosts Europe’s competitiveness and innovation capacity. 🎥 Check out the video to explore these initiatives and how #ErasmusPlus is shaping a dynamic and inclusive future for VET! #VET #FutureSkills #EUeducation EfVET European Association of Institutes for Vocational Training (EVBB) European Vocational Training Association - EVTA EURASHE eucen EU Employment & Skills OECD Education and Skills International Labour Organization Cedefop European Training Foundation Eurofound Europass Europe WorldSkills International World Federation of Colleges and Polytechnics (WFCP) UNESCO-UNEVOC National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER) Agência Nacional Erasmus+ Educação e Formação Teresa e Alexandre Soares dos Santos - Iniciativa Educação ENAIP Veneto ANESPO - Associação Nacional de Escolas Profissionais Grupo ENSINUS Kristin Wilkens Peter Thiele Bundesinstitut für Berufsbildung (BIBB)

Very useful tool for VET providers. The GO INTERNATIONAL guide has been revised! This is a practical guide to help institutions in the strategic planning of their international activities. The guide does not focus only on Erasmus+, so the methodologies included might be interesting for many different stakeholders and different mobility or cooperation projects, including for apprentices.  #ApprenEU #Copcoves #EUvocationalskills #euvocationalexcellence

You know that vocational education and training is dear to my ❤️. That is why I would like to share the latest good news 📰 from Erasmus+: 72 new projects for international cooperation in VET have been selected and will receive funding. More than €26 million have been made available for 72 new projects for international cooperation in VET for 2024. The 72 projects selected cover 78 countries and were chosen from a record number of eligible and evaluated project proposals. Among many other measures, Erasmus+ also finances capacity building in VET. Capacity building in VET aims to improve the quality, accessibility and responsiveness of VET systems in countries around the world. This is done by strengthening the capacity of VET staff and teachers, as well as the link between service providers and the labour market. This capacity building in vocational education and training covers most of the world as it is open to all 27 EU countries, the six countries associated with Erasmus+: Iceland, Liechtenstein, North Macedonia, Norway, Serbia, Turkey, countries of the Western Balkans, the Eastern Neighbourhood, Sub-Saharan Africa, the Southern Mediterranean, Latin America and the Caribbean. The call for 2025 is expected to be published on the Erasmus+ website in November. The application deadline will then probably be as early as February of the following year. If you want to find out more about the call and the projects selected, have a look 👀 yourself https://lnkd.in/eVX9GHcg #Erasmus+ #skillsforlife #lifelonglearning #vocationaleducation

**Erasmus Students Engage in Governance and Digital Transformation Dialogue at Frumecar** In an enriching cultural and educational exchange today, Frumecar was delighted to host 45 Erasmus students from around the globe, representing countries such as Portugal, Latvia, Poland, Angola, Brazil, India, Cuba, Sri Lanka, and Iran. The visit forms a segment of their involvement in an insightful program on governance and digital transformation in Europe, adeptly coordinated by the Polytechnic University of Cartagena (UPCT) under Professor Antonio Guerrero's guidance. The insightful program, named "International Forum on Governance, Information Systems Management, and Industry 4.0," is tailored for advanced students eager to delve into the pivotal role of governance and digital innovation in today's world. Adopting the Erasmus Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) model, the curriculum blends in-person and virtual learning with lectures, seminars, and practical workshops based in Cartagena. The objective of the program is to dissect the vital impact that governance has on managing information systems and the evolution towards Industry 4.0, scrutinizing how emerging technologies are transforming businesses globally. Frumecar is proud to contribute to this educational venture and hopes that the students' time at our facilities proves to be inspirational and enlightening, cultivating a cadre of future leaders equipped to navigate the realms of digital transformation and governance in our modern era. #Erasmus #DigitalTransformation #Governance #Industry40 #Education #Innovation #UPCT #Frumecar

Here is a recap of the most important news from the International Development Academy for the month of February! 🚀⚽️ #InternationalDevelopmentAcademy #SoccerDevelopment https://lnkd.in/di8XwqZx

Every year, we assemble a consortium of half a dozen Centers of Vocational Excellence and tender materials (this is the fourth year already). 🧐 What is the Centers of Vocational Excellence (CoVE) and why we support applicants at; 🤝 consortium building, ⚙️ developing project objectives, 📖 and preparing tender materials? Because these institutions are trying to revolutionize workforce training in the European Union! 🔎 The main goal of CoVE is to provide high quality workforce training. They work closely with CoVEs and companies operating in other countries in order to offer new technologies or sustainable solutions. 🖥️ The CoVE plays an extremely important role in large-scale EU plans, such as the green transition and wider use of digital technology. These centres enable young people and adults to keep up with the latest developments in the world of work, especially when workplaces go through technological or environmental changes. This will not only promote innovation but also develop local communities. With the Community for the Society!
