INTERVET- “Internationalization of VET systems in Western Balkans”

The project “Internationalisation of VET systems in Western Balkans” (INTERVET WB) brings together 14 organisations involved in VET from 14 countries (among which all the 6 countries of the Western Balkans) to introduce a comprehensive mobility scheme in the enlargement countries.

In order to achieve this general objective, the project has set out 4 specific objectives:

1) To research, develop, test and mainstream a mobility scheme in the 6 countries of the Western Balkans which is tailor made to the characteristics of this area and addressed to: VET students, recently graduates, apprentices and staff of VET organisations.

2) To improve the key competences and professional skills of learners by delivering more work based learning experiences through mobility actions abroad, thus filling the gap with those needed by the local business sector for the economic development and at the same time facilitating their transition to the job market.

3) To improve the competences of VET organisations’ staff regarding: transnational mobility; internal management and administration; planning and teaching of sectoral subjects through mobility.

4) To strengthen the integration and interaction of the different components of the system (VET providers, VET organisations, Business actors, mobility providers local authorities etc.) and establish networks of stakeholders that will ensure the sustainability of mobility schemes.
