Staff Training 

 

Objectives and Description of the Activity 

Within the broad objective of training of staff this activity encompasses the following types of mobility: 

•mobility of any staff member from a higher education institution to another higher education institution or to an enterprise, for the purpose of receiving training.  

•mobility of administrative and other non-teaching staff from higher education institution going to a partner higher education institution or to an enterprise, for the purpose of receiving training. 

 

The purpose is to allow the beneficiaries to learn by transfer of knowledge or know-how from the experiences and good practices of a partner institution or host enterprise, and thereby to acquire practical skills relevant for their current job and their professional development.  

The selection will be done by the sending institution in the same way as in the classical Teaching Staff mobility. In the case of a mobility of staff from an enterprise to an institution, it is arranged by an invitation of the institution to the staff member of the enterprise; the grant is managed by the institution. 

 

The applicant will have to submit a work plan for the mobility period. The essential elements should be: overall aim and objectives, expected results in terms of training or learning, activities to be carried out and if possible a programme of the period. The work plan should be endorsed by both the sending and the host institution or enterprise. The institutions will be responsible for the quality of the mobility period abroad. Upon return, the beneficiary should draft a short report with the main results. 

 

Concerning the duration, the minimum should be one week.
