Partnership
The Partnership is composed out of 3 Chambers of Commerce (CCI), 3 Public Employment Services (PES), companies (SMEs), 2 Vocational Education and Training Institutions (VET), 1 employers’ association and 1 university college.

The project is lead by Voka – Chamber of Commerce of East-Flanders and has 3 Flemish partners (Unizo, VDAB and Kaho St.Lieven), 2 from Italy (ENAIP FVG and Agenzia Regionale del Lavoro), 2 from Poland (DWUP and DM), 1 from Hungary (CCI of Szabolc-Szatmar-Bereg County) and 1 from Slovakia (CCI of Presov Region).

All partners involved have extensive knowledge on mobility, all non-educational partners currently belong to cross border partnerships, such as Eures Scheldemond (Flanders – the Netherlands), Euradria (Italy – Slovenia)  and Eures TriRegio (Poland – Germany – Czech Republic).

The project fully fits in the priorities concluded by the European Ministers of Vocational Education and Training stating clearly that quality in European mobility should increase in order to improve the employability of all European citizens living in a quickly changing economical society.

AIMS

The project intends to go through 3 stages:

The partnership aims to map and evaluate different vocational training mobility initiatives and tools within the partnership. Examples of these are cross border internships/apprentices, cross border labour mobility databases, tools for comparison of competencies and transparency of qualifications etc. 
It will do so by enlisting the existing tools and initiatives by the different partner countries, discussing and evaluating them during discussion sessions. By using existing quality criteria an objective evaluation of these initiatives will be made.

The Partnership will then research whether these best practices can be implemented in other countries, both on a cross border and on a transnational scale, taking into account the social an legislative differences between the involved countries. Their findings and results will have an impact on other EU regions in the participating countries and beyond.

The partnership aims to implement these tools in the other involved countries. This can occur both via the implementation of existing initiatives in other partner countries (cross border and transnational ) and via the extension of existing tools towards other partner countries. It will also look for dissemination of the successful tools and Best practices towards non involved partner countries, on a pan European scale.
