Erasmus + Mobility
Description
The Erasmus project of Santurtzi VET includes all the activities that involve relations between the centre and companies and other training centres abroad. Thus, by means of the mobilities obtained within the ERASMUS + programme, the students of the centre have the possibility of carrying out the Workplace Training module (FCT) in a foreign company. In addition, the mobilities of the teaching staff as well as the visits from abroad allow new contacts to be made in order to collaborate with foreign companies and to carry out future projects.
The centre is accredited until 2027 to carry out the mobilities of Intermediate and Advanced Degree by means of an ECHE Charter and the Accreditation of the KA120 programme.
Timing
- Student mobilities take place every year during the third term, when the FCT module is taken, between February and June.
- The mobilities of the teaching staff abroad or the reception of visitors in our centre are carried out according to the interests and suitability for both parties.
