The General Direction of Vocational Training and Adult Education (DGFPEA) of the Department of Education, Culture and Sports of Canary Islands CA has confirmed centers participating in Erasmus+ student mobilities projects providing a financial support. Since that organism’s use of support is recommended to increase the number of mobilities according to the so-called Erasmus+ “Zero Grants”.

The IES Puerto de la Cruz – Telesforo Bravo, through the school Erasmus+ Coordination, has decided to use this economic contribution to increase the number of places for mobility trainees during 2017-2018. Another two grants are available from previous KA1 project of 2016-2017. Thus, we will have the initial 19+2 mobility workplaces funded by Erasmus+ grants and 1 added traineeship place funded by the DGFPEA, so we can finally have 22 places for student mobilities. The amount of this support will be slightly less than the Erasmus+ budget, but enough to face mobility.

IES Puerto de la Cruz – Telesforo Bravo has been successful, as last years, for Erasmus+ Students Mobilities for Practices KA1 Project. The Spanish National Agency (SEPIE) has selected our application and has granted the Project with 19 mobilities for students and 4 mobilities for staff.

To these mobilities for students will be added 2 more SMP ones left from last year KA103 Project. Then, 22 of our higher short cycle students are going to have the opportunity of taking part in the Project and do their traineeship in an European country.

The main objective of the meeting was to review undertakings and to develop strategies for the next phase of the on-going Talented Europe project, an Erasmus Plus sponsored project which aims at connecting students to employers across Europe with endorsement of their universities and increasing their employability opportunities.
