YOMTOOL – The Youth On the Move ECVET oriented mobility TOOLkit

The European transnational mobility projects have over the last twenty years been implemented with a great variation in the use of supportive tools, techniques and functions documenting the results of a placement. The initiatives of NTI-MMM with LeoPass, MultiPass and the Rap4Leo in cooperation with the European Commission are relevant examples. With the integration of Europass documents this applied also to already obtained learning outcomes as well as certifications issued.Several studies on the obstacles and barriers to participation in mobility projects, lastly through the Commission EU2020 strategic initiative Youth on the Move have been presented. A general conclusion has been the need for better information, operating tools and support services for all types of mobility actions targeting a reduction of youth unemployment.The EU 2020 strategy clearly states that this initiative must improve:• educational outcomes, focus on key competencies and aiming at reducing early school leaving;• young people's entry into the labour market through integrated action covering guidance, counselling and apprenticeships.Studies and reports on the feasibility of the different approaches to optimise the operation of mobility projects have underlined the need to secure information, tools and infrastructure as basic elements. This has been well documented in the recent results of the consultation on the Green Paper on the Learning Mobility of Young People, The Rethinking Education papers and the European Alliance for ApprenticeshipsYOMTOOL addresses three different areas where the integration into one general tool structure is the creative contribution:1. Creating a cost-effective WEB based tool integrating the operative documents relevant and required in a transnational VET mobility;2. Secure that learning outcomes, certificates and qualification documents are individually described according to the ECVET principles, tracked and stored;3. Setting up an interactive database where the diversity of individually obtained learning can be easily exported into or attached or linked to relevant documents like Journeyman Certificates, sector specific certificates and the Europass documents.
