Erasmus+ VET Mobility
Since 2012, the Department of Training and Development has been hosting teams from Technical Lyceums, IEKs (Institutes of Vocational Training) and Chambers from abroad and mainly from Greece, which are part of the European Erasmus + Program. It offers training in 15 days of specialized subjects.
The aim is for groups of pupils, students and employees to specialize in training, to acquire theoretical and practical knowledge and to visit local businesses and organizations. In cases where mobility concerns students, they are placed in business for internships. Besides the theoretical and practical part of the program, the apprentices have the opportunity to visit all the districts of Cyprus and to get to know the Cypriot culture, the customs and the beauties of the place.
The main specialized areas covered so far by the various mobility programs include the following:
- Training in Managing the Professional Image
