PLATFORMS FOR THE PROMOTION AND SUPPORT OF QUALIFYING MOBILITY IN INITIAL VOCATIONAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING

Pro Mobility Toolkit

The Pro Mobility Toolkit (PMT) provides basic information about short- and longer-term mobility stays during vocational education and training (VET).

Structured into three mobility phases – preparation, implementation and follow-up – it answers frequently asked questions and gives useful hints, tips and advice. In addition, the PMT includes checklists about every mobility phase and references to interesting websites and useful tools. Hence it provides everyone interested in mobility issues – students, apprentices, VET institutions – with a preliminary overview of everything they should know about mobility stays.

The PMT is supplemented by a glossary containing frequently used terms and concepts in connection with mobility.

Please note the following:
  • There are many ways of spending periods abroad for learning or working. Therefore the PMT can merely provide some basic information about exchanges. We do not claim that this information is complete.
  • Situations and circumstances of mobility stays vary widely. It is therefore important to always take into account the concrete mobility stay when looking for information and taking active steps.
  • Our research has shown that many different terms are used for temporary stays abroad for education purposes. In the PMT we refer to students and apprentices who go to other European countries for a specified period in order to continue their college education and/or company-based training. For more detailed information about what we understand by the terms we are using please refer to our glossary.
  • We have attempted to conduct thorough research into the PMT content and quote them accurately. Nevertheless we disclaim any liability for the authenticity and correctness of the information made available. The operators of third-party websites included as links on this website shall be responsible for their content.


The PMT is also available on USB-stick that can be obtained from the project coordinator for free (except mail charges). Please send an e-mail to Sabine Tritscher-Archan, tritscher-archan@ibw.at.
