Connecting Talent: AppInterN's impact on vocational education and training students

AppInterN

Establishing Career Hubs for Enhanced Collaboration 

Three Career Hubs have been formed in Greece (the Greek Portal), Italy, and Spain, with the following goals, among others:  

  • to establish an effective network between VET students, graduates, and employers; 
  • to facilitate the search for apprenticeships or jobs through databases; 
  • to enhance competences and skills through career guidance and events; 
  • to underline VET as an institution of high importance, providing information about the trends and challenges in the labour market, stressing the significance of work-based training as an effective way of boosting employability and career opportunities, especially among young people not in employment, education or training. 

The Greek Portal and its opportunities 

The Greek Portal is regularly updated with apprenticeship and training offers for VET students, as well as job opportunities for VET graduates. In the portal, VET students and graduates can create professional profiles and upload their CVs, making their skills and experiences visible to employers. They also gain access to relevant offers and information about VET-related events and opportunities. The application process for apprenticeships, training, or job offers can be completed online, facilitating seamless interaction between employers and students/graduates. 

The project, executed within the Erasmus+ framework, harnesses the benefits of EU funding, primarily fostering international cooperation and providing necessary financial resources, resulting in a successful outcome across all aspects.
