Objective
The development of the European internal market is increasingly giving workers the opportunity to take a job in firms in other EU countries. The experience of the last few years shows, however, that there are a number of problems standing in the way of employment: inadequate knowledge of the (specialist) language of the target country and of the inter-cultural peculiarities of business life, national one-sidedness of business training and professional practice, and insufficient experience in evaluating foreign certificates.
The pilot project will create the conditions whereby participants from business training programs, within the framework of this project training, can obtain, by means of action-oriented teaching plans, a qualification that enables them to take and do a job in business in other EU countries. This ability will be attested by personal competence certificates which follow common standards and which will be developed in the project by the partners.
The "EUROPE modules" to be developed will contain exercises for action-oriented teaching plans, relating to situations which do not differ from country to country and to those which are country-specific. In addition a collection of examples of personal competence certificates will be produced, divided into occupations and groups of occupations.
Impact
The pilot project will increase the readiness of firms to give workers from other EU countries a chance for employment in the business, and will promote the competitiveness of foreign workers as compared to native workers, thus increasing their mobility. In addition the project will contribute to the Europeanisation of firms.
