What is the purpose of the project?

Having just left the educational institution, the recent graduates from VET training centres and universities as the target group requires opportunities to experience in the workplace in order to access the job-market. The FIETE project will meet both of these challenges by providing opportunities for variable-access learning at the same time as the acquisition of experience in the work-place, along with guiding recent graduates through the job application process. In this way, the recent graduates will be able to step into employment. The results of the FIETE project will have a direct synergy with other sectors and be of benefit to all groups looking for fulfilling employment.

The primary aim of the FIETE project is to promote ways for currently unemployed recent graduates from VET courses get maximum benefit from a long-duration (6-12 months)  internship in another European country leading to exciting employment opportunities.

What are the activities to achieve the aim on the project?

Produce variable-access CoP-based digital resources to enable learning ‘anywhere, anytime’: design the virtual-access learning resources that focus on all areas of preparation for a transnational internship, activities during a transnational internship and maximising the benefits after a transnational internship.
