The Erasmus+ Program at Uninettuno

Mobility in Europe

ERASMUS+ is the new program of the European Union in the fields of education, training, youth and sport for the period 2021-2027.

The Erasmus+  Program starts in a period in which the European Union counts nearly 6 million youths are unemployed with rates over 50% in some countries. In the meantime, there are over 2 million job vacancies and one third of employers report difficulties in hiring staff possessing the skills they require. This proves that there still are skills gaps in Europe.  

Erasmus+  will fill these gaps giving opportunities of studying, training or work or voluntary work experiences abroad. The main objectives include:

-          Support students in acquiring the skills (knowledge, qualities and attitudes) in order to enhance their personal development and their employability in the European job market

-          Support the professional development of those working in the fields of education, training and youth in order to renew and enhance the quality of teaching, training and socio-educational activities all over Europe

-          Enhance the participants’ foreign language skills

-          Develop participants ‘ awareness and understanding about other cultures and other countries giving them the opportunity of international networking in order to play an active role in society and develop a spirit of European citizenship and identity

-          Enhance skills, attractiveness and the international reach of organizations working in the fields of education, training and youth to allow them to offer activities and programs best meeting the needs of individuals, inside and outside Europe

-          Enhance synergies and transitions among formal, informal, vocational training, employment and entrepreneurship

-          Assure a stronger acknowledgement of the skills acquired during the training periods spent abroad.
