Project Background

The STREAM project concept has emerged from an in-depth examination of challenges, obstacles, and needs aimed at enhancing the quality and pertinence of Work-Based Learning (WBL) and international mobility. This analysis was conducted through research, engagement, and development initiatives carried out across Europe between 2020 and 2022 by the Eduwork.net consortium within the framework of Erasmus+ KA3. This 3 year project brings together 14 partners and 4 associated partners across Europe and kicked off in January 2024.

Stream Project Aims:

To identify the skills necessary for vocational education and training (VET) trainers and business mentors to design and manage high quality Work–Based Learning (WBL) experiences. To improve the efficiency and flexibility of Work-Based Learning (WBL) design, organization, and evaluation across both national and transnational contexts involving VET providers and companies. To promote WBL within Europe’s VET community which entails nurturing international collaboration and intercultural exchange
