i-WOBAL: INTERNATIONAL WORK BASED LEARNING IN HIGHER EDUCATION

Work Based Learning is an educational model that is deeply rooted in some European countries and has been moving forward with greater intensity in the last few decades. This model has traditionally been associated with Vocational Education and Training, and more recently to Higher Education, and plays an important role in many European educational systems as it strongly links the socioeconomic fabric with the academic offer. The need to create specific training adapted to the requirements of the environment and also the problem of youth unemployment, has placed this option as a new model to be developed. Together, we will jointly identify the needs of the current tutoring systems and improve them based on the fast changes and increased complexity of today’s world. Within this project, we will provide qualitative and quantitative improvements and benefits for the different actors involved: students, companies and centers.
