BENEFICIARIES

VET STUDENTS: The main beneficiaries of the Erasmus plus project VIRTUAL INTERNSHIPS IN TECH CENTERS are VET students at risk of exclusion, especially from disadvantaged areas of Spain, France and Greece.

This project allows them to work side by side with great researchers, learn from them and develop skills, while at the same time reinforcing confidence in their possibilities.

VET TEACHERS: they have the opportunity to improve their digital training and their ability to direct their teaching towards employability in the technology sector, one of the fastest growing sectors in recent years.

TECHNOLOGICAL COMPANIES: they are beneficiaries of the intellectual results, which allows them to improve and adapt work processes towards teleworking, as well as train their own workers.

VET CENTERS: the use of the results of the project means the possibility of improving the training and learning processes of its students, especially those with obstacles. In addition, it facilitates the possibility of offering its students, despite COVID-19 and the lack of face-to-face work internships, greater opportunities to access a work experience that will be accredited.
