The objective of this activity is to encourage, facilitate and inform about the mobility of apprentices and persons in alternate vocational training schemes by creating a sustainable network of operators and competent bodies supported by a web-based platform.

Discussion and work during recent years have shown that there is a need to strengthen partnerships in the area of qualitative support for stakeholders, especially in the skilled trades and SME sectors. The platform would be a tool intended first and foremost for intermediary organisations such as professional organisations, undertakings and public services but it could also be used for individuals as a first information point on possibilities for mobility.

Furthermore, the activities and projects in the last years have resulted in a number of different tools and approaches which are not known to a wider public. The network and platform would have the aim to regroup these tools and should be used to create the necessary synergies between all the operations in the area of mobility of apprentices and young people taking work-related training.
