Internationalisation
APPROACH
The Internationalization area of TKNIKA deals with:
1
Directing the strategy and internationalization activities of TKNIKA.
2
Directing the internationalization strategy and activities of the Vocational Training centers.
Specifically, the activities of the internationalization area are developed in three levels of action:
DEVELOPMENT
Activities of Tknika’s Internationalisation Area:
They also aim to:
1
Promote the offer of training activities in other countries, and promoting training activities abroad with companies.
2
Promote cooperation with other regions or countries in the processes of implementation and design of their Vocational Training system.
Internationalisation System of Euskadi's Vocational Education and Training
Erasmus Mobility Programmes+ Students
They are carried out by the VET centers, Association of VET centers in Euskadi and directors associations.
Teacher mobilities
As part of the monitoring process, teachers make short stays through the Erasmus + teacher mobility grants.
Tknika has begun to participate in the Higher Education mobility program between program countries and partners (KA107), to promote cooperation with organizations in Australia and Hong Kong in the current call. Ikaslan (Association of directors of public VET centers), HETEL (Association of VET centers in Euskadi) and the VET centers themselves apply to mobility calls and manage student mobility and teaching scholarships in the Basque Autonomous Community.
Participation in International Projects
We actively participate in different projects financed by the European Union or by different international entities.
Training and support
The internationalization area of Tknika provides a support and monitoring service to the Vocational Training Centers of the Basque Country.
The area supports the centers through:
- Delivery of training courses
- Advice tailored to the needs of each center
- Organization of dissemination events of European projects
- Organization of Tknika open days
The internationalization area of Tknika carries out an exhaustive follow-up of the internationalization activities of the centers of the Basque Country in order to be able to disseminate their work.
Relationship with Third Countries
Relationships with countries in the Americas, Asia, and Africa are maintained to encourage joint collaboration and exchange and share knowledge and experiences.
International Network Management
The encouragement of participation in international networks is one of the means for reaching the targets of internationalisation for the various activities and sectors of vocational education and training (applied research and innovation, education, mobility, institutional management, etc.). We belong to different networks that serve as a framework for cooperation with diverse institutions, and to achieve international goals within the framework of vocational education and training.
