Erasmus+ is the European programme that supports education, training, youth and sport. The main pillars of the programme for the period 2021-2027 are social inclusion, promoting youth participation in democratic life and the ecological and digital transitions.
EPSM develops the Erasmus + programme within the Vocational Education and Training sector, with the main objective of contributing to the motivation and commitment of its students, in the acquisition of knowledge, skills, competences and/or aptitudes necessary in certain professions or, more generally, in the job market.
The key concepts in this sector are:
EMPLOYABILITY
Facilitate personal development and employability, requiring solid partnerships between education and the workplace.
QUALIFICATIONS
Support those involved in professional teaching and learning in training and/or improvement actions in the acquisition and use of knowledge, skills and qualifications in a work context.
MOBILITY
Strengthen the attractive nature of vocational education and training in the mobility of trainees and workers.
LABOR MARKET
Increase the adequacy of Vocational Education and Training (VET) to the labour market.
SKILLS
Increase skills matching and reduce labour shortages in economic sectors by adapting curricula and acquired qualification profiles and establishing stable partnerships between VET providers and economic agents.
TRANSPARENCY
Increase transparency and mutual trust between VET systems by streamlining and implementing coherently at national level the recommendations of the European Credit System for Vocational Education and Training (ECVET) and the European Quality Assurance in Vocational Education and Training (EQAVET).
INCLUSION
Support the promotion of lifelong, easily accessible and career-oriented vocational education and training, including for those less likely to participate in these learning activities.
TRAINERS
Promote the development of the capacities and skills of teachers and trainers, with special emphasis on on-site training, the creation of partnerships between school teachers and trainers in companies and the training of trainers in companies.
