LWETB 2015
Start date: Jun 1, 2015, End date: May 31, 2017 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Background to project Some of our students are from disadvantaged backgrounds and may never get the opportunity or luxury of travelling abroad other than the Erasmus+ Programme. This programme allows the students to fulfill ambitions and inspires them to achieve to their full potential. As a result of Erasmus+ programme the participants are frequently liaising with course tutors, which results in encouragement they may not otherwise receive. After extensive research on Tenerife 's tourism industry, we discovered our students have the acquired skills to fill a gap in the labour market. Tenerife has 3 million tourists visiting each and does not have the training facilities to meet the demands of the tourism industry. There is a need in Tenerife for fully qualified Beauty & Body Therapist and professionals with up to date IT and general business skills. LWETB Post Leaving Certificate courses can provide this service through Erasmus+ Programme. This project will improve the level of key competences and skills, with particular regard to their relevance for the labour market within the Hair and Beauty Industry . Objectives The role of the LWETB will be to improve the following objectives Prepare the students by: • encourage future mobility across Europe; • enhanced employability and improved career prospects; • increased sense of initiative and entrepreneurship; • increased self-empowerment and self-esteem; • improved foreign language competences; • enhanced intercultural awareness; • • better awareness of the European project and the EU values; • increased motivation for taking part in future (formal/non-formal) education or training after the mobility period abroad.
