A project developed by EUCONTACT within the framework of:
EUROPEAN, CROSS-NATIONAL VOCATIONAL EDUCATION AND CAREER COUCHING
Who is JOBMOBILITY for?
JOBMOBILITY IN A NUTSHELL
JOBMOBILITY is a web-based EUROPEAN, CROSS-NATIONAL VOCATIONAL EDUCATION and CAREER COUCHING SCHEME for young participants in EUMATCHING and EDUMATCHING projects run by EUCONTACT. JOBMOBILITY benefits the participants as they start their lifelong education and work journey, allowing them to get to know the CROSS-BORDER opportunities of the SINGLE EUROPEAN MARKET, as EUROPEAN LABOUR MARKET, in conjunction with comprehensive employment, training, further education and mobility opportunities in EUROPE.
TARGET GROUP
The target group of the web-based JOBMOBILITY TRAINING MODULES are exclusively vocational students, in the last year of their vocational education, undertaken in VET Colleges, based in structurally weakly-developed EU regions, at least 18 years of age, close to graduating either an EUMATCHING or an EDUMATCHING project, embedded within the framework of sector-specific vocational training courses, provided by such VET Colleges.
Why JOBMOBILITY?
CURB YOUTH UNEMPLOYMENT AND SEGMENTED POVERTY
On the one hand, this scheme is intended to reduce, in structurally weakly developed EU-regions, young people´s risk of permanent unemployment and segmented poverty resulting therefrom.
On the one hand, the integration, participation and access to welfare of young people, with a sector-specific, vocational education, shall be promoted by means of a bespoke MATCHING with employers/companies based in structurally strongly-developed EU-regions, on grounds of the FREE MOVEMENT OF CITIZENS IN EUROPE and EU LABOUR MARKET.
PROFESSIONAL AND FINANCIAL OPPORTUNITIES IN THE SINGLE EUROPEAN MARKET
Within the framework of a web-based course program, lasting for several months, embedded in a EUMATCHING or EDUMATCHING project, JOBMOBILITY informs its participants on the EUROPEAN professional and financial opportunities, available in the SINGLE EUROPEAN MARKET, as EUROPEAN LABOR MARKET and EUROPEAN EDUCATIONAL AREA, against the background of unavailable or poorly-paid jobs in their respective European country of origin and the therefrom resulting significant RISK OF POVERTY.
Hence, within the framework of the JOBMOBILITY training course programme (curriculum), the project participants are presented with the vocational education and career couching opportunities in the SINGLE EUROPEAN MARKET, as EU LABOUR MARKET, otherwise very poorly known, both at national, as well as European level.
JOBMOBILITY is a web-based training opportunity on EUROPEAN, CROSS-NATIONAL VOCATIONAL and CAREER COUCHING, which is generally not provided by Vocational Colleges in structurally weakly-developed EU regions.
TRANSITION FROM EDUCATION TO WORK, AT CROSS-NATIONAL LEVEL, IN THE EU
The aim of the JOBMOBILITY scheme is to enable its course participants to make the transition from a school-based vocational education, provided in a EU region, weakly-developed from a structural point of view to the EUROPEAN LABOR MARKET, in a structurally well-developed EU region, by a CROSS-NATIONAL approach, WITHOUT financial and social RISKS. This is intended to enable young people, coming from structurally weakly-developed EU regions, to find a job with companies based in structurally well-developed EU regions, job that corresponds to their school-based vocational education and training, in compliance with EUROPEAN SOCIAL STANDARDS, timely and WITHOUT commercial recruitment, financial risks or debt load.
Starting with the vocational education and career couching and up to getting in touch with companies based in structurally well-developed EU regions, provided through JOBMOBILITY, as part of the EUMATCHING or EDUMATCHING project schemes, the young project participants are supported in leading a self-determined and self-financed life in the SINGLE EUROPEAN MARKET, on grounds of their school-based vocational qualification, obtained in a structurally weakly-developed EU region, based on the principles of CITIZENS´ FREE MOVEMENT IN THE EU, thus reducing their RISK OF POVERTY.
WEB-BASED TRAINING MODULE
JOBMOBILITY is a web-based TRAINING MODULE within a EUROPEAN VOCATIONAL EDUCATION and CAREER COUCHING for participants in EUMATCHING and EDUMATCHING PROJECTS.
Training and Couching Contents
CROSS-NATIONAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES
JOBMOBILITY, by means of web-based course modules, presents participants in EUMATCHING or EDUMATCHING projects, immediately after obtaining a school-based vocational qualification, sector-specific, with the available CROSS-NATIONAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES in EUROPE, offered by companies based in structurally well-developed EU-regions.
The JOBMOBILITY VOCATIONAL EDUCATION and CAREER COUCHING places a particular emphasis on STEM occupations (German: MINT) and BLUE-COLLAR JOBS.
EQUIVALENCE / RECOGNITION OF VOCATIONAL QUALIFICATIONS IN THE EU
JOBMOBILITY also informs the project participants on the CROSS-NATIONAL EQUIVALENCE / RECOGNITION of many school-based vocational qualifications in the SINGLE EUROPEAN MARKET, as EUROPEAN EDUCATIONAL AREA.
FREE MOVEMENT IN THE EU
In the training modules, the detailed presentation of the FREE MOVEMENT RIGHT for all young citizens of the EUROPEAN UNION plays a central part. During the provision of the WEB-BASED JOBMOBILITY TRAINING MODULES, throughout a couple of months, the participants will be also introduced to relevant contents on social insurance, unemployment insurance and pension insurance in EUROPE.
INTERCULTURAL TRAINING
Also, the provision of information on the different country-specific mentalities in EUROPE, as well as on different country-specific labour demand / bottleneck occupations, prospects and perspectives, is part of the JOBMOBILITY TRAINING MODULES.
MULTI-LINGUAL DELIVERY
The web-based JOBMOBILITY VOCATIONAL EDUCATION AND CAREER COACHING within the framework of ongoing EUMATCHING or EDUMATCHING projects is delivered in multi-lingual mode.
WORKING CROSS-NATIONALLY, REDUCING THE RISK OF POVERTY AND SOCIAL MARGINALISATION
The EUROPEAN, CROSS-NATIONAL VOCATIONAL EDUCATION and CAREER COUCHING, JOBMOBILITY, is intended to facilitate the cross-national transition to THE LABOUR MARKET in structurally well-developed EU regions for the participants in EUMATCHING or EDUMATCHING projects, originating from structurally weakly-developed EU regions, as well as to reduce their risk of social marginalization.
