European Mobility Vocational Education and Training

Thanks to a job-related stay in a European host institution, valuable experience can be gained and international flair can be lived. Not only abroad, but also in your own institution in Switzerland.

• VET learners and recent VET graduates* ccan complete VET traineeships (work placements) in a European host company. The company traineeship (work placement) for VET learners and recent VET graduates can be combined with linguistic preparation. Both individual and group mobility (e.g. classes) is possible.
  The length of stay is from 12 days to max. 360 days (without travel days).
  *VET graduates: start of the company traineeship (work placement) within12 months of completing a VET programme.
   
• VET professionals and teaching staff can do an exchange regarding initial and continuing education and training* questions, teaching, networking, project development or job shadowing.
  From 2021 onwards, "Invited experts" from other European countries can be invited to Switzerland for internationalisation.
  The length of stay is from 2 days to max. 60 days (without travel days).
  *Continuing education courses and language courses are excluded from funding.
