The European Commission has launched a call for proposals (EAC/28/2009) for the creation of a transnational network and supporting web-based platform in the area of mobility for apprentices. The objective of the three-year project 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. 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. The network should also create the necessary synergies between all the operations in the area of mobility of apprentices and young people taking work-related training.

The European Commission foresees the funding of one three-year project in this area, with an expected start date in December 2009. 
 
Budget: EUR 1 million

Deadline: 30 September 2009
