TIrocini FORmativi in Mobilità Internazionale
Start date: Nov 1, 2014, End date: Oct 31, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The “TI.FOR.M.I.” project has been thought and designed for students who attend an education and vocational training path 3/4 or 5 years long funded and recognised by the Veneto Region and the Ministry of Education. The trainees will be selected within schools situated in the Regions of Veneto, Marche, Puglia and Sicilia, that is schools situated into three Italian territorial macro-areas (North – Center – South and Islands), involving classes of the second, third and fourth year. The project has been realised integrating scholastic realities as Italian vocational schools and VET centers and some European partners as: colleges, VET centers and associations from England, Ireland, France, Germany and Spain. The majority of students involved in the project come from families with limited economic resources, and they often live in social need situations at the limit of isolation. These situations can cause them an economic and cultural disadvantage and limiting, in the long term, the cognitive, social and relational development. We really believe that marrying the activities offered by vocational education and training paths with extra-scholastic actions, as the participation to an European vocational mobility project, we can produce in the students involved a positive and multiplying effect, unique of its dimension and importance. Students will be in the centre of a project that involves them directly and, perhaps for the first time, making them conscious that results will depend entirely on them. The choice of the vocational area of students refers to the Veneto Region vocational training qualifications, the 5 years long qualifications of the Regions of Sicilia, Marche and Puglia. The sectors are: • Mechanics; • Electronics; • Restoration – Tourism; • Constructions; • Wellness; • Administration and Sales. Describing the importance of the “TI.FOR.M.I.” project, we paid a particular attention on two aspects of the mobility: the acquisition of professional competences learnt at school and the acquisition of personal and/or transversal competences. The reinforcement of professional competences acquired at school and the acquisition of new professional competences will develop through internship activities in working contexts different from the classic scholastic ones. So, the company training represents a valuable and effective instrument to make the most of the competences acquired at school, in an international dimension. The second element, the acquisition of personal and/or transversal competences, assumes a meaning and a value during the whole mobility phase, to trigger later a continuous awareness and personal growth process. The aims of the “TI.FOR.M.I.” project are: 1. To increase the technical-professional competences, through the training; 2. To develop the language competences, through the participation to the training and intercultural activities; 3. To recognise, assess and certify (through ECVET systems) the competences acquired during the internship activities abroad; 4. To increase the personal competences, the social skills and the self-management skills, using non-formal and informal modalities, during the mobility period; 5. To develop innovative educational methodologies for the learning of language and intercultural competences of students (visiting the city, a museum…); 6. To recognise and certify, through tools as the Europass, the mobility period abroad. The results expected of the “TI.FOR.M.I.” project are: 1. The certification of the technical-professional and language competences, using the ECVET systems; 2. The development of the technical-professional competences, through the professional internship; 3. The development of the language and cultural competences, through the training and cultural activities. During the mobility period and during all the activities, it will be assessed and certified the Learning Outcomes (LOs) described trough the competence, the minimum skills and the essential knowledge of each profession. The project has a duration of 24 months and the exchanges will occur mainly during the summer, presumably from May to September.
