The piloting foreseen for the academic year 2019-2020 is expected to involve 80 VET students and 80 SMEs working in the field of exports and willing to follow the digital swift.

As a result of the project’s implementation it is expected that the VET students will increase significantly their knowledge, skills and competencies in the sector and that the SMEs will be more engaged in apprenticeships and will be able to find more easily employees with the required skills.

In addition, VET students are going to acquire international experience through their participation in the mobility scheme and work-based experience through their participation in apprenticeships. The companies (especially SMEs) that are active in exports and are interested in the use of internet and social media for exports are going to increase their influence in the development of VET curricula. VET organisations involved are going to improve their training offer their cooperation with companies and the market.
