WORK-BASED LEARNING EXPERIENCES ABROAD FOR VET LEARNERS

Transnational mobility aimed at acquiring new skills is one of the fundamental ways through which individuals, particularly young people, can strengthen their future employability and foster their personal development.

VET enables these young learners to acquire the knowledge, skills and experience they need to succeed in the labour market, whether for a specific job or for a wider range of occupations.

Within ENNE, the WBL experiences abroad for VET learners shall allow the learners to develop their professional and soft skills, such as communication, problem-solving, critical thinking and teamwork.
