Mobility Programmes / Erasmus+
The Mobility Programmes in Erasmus+ provides opportunities for people to experience learning mobility in Europe and beyond, and for youth workers to develop their interpersonal skills and improve their employment prospects through training and networking opportunities.
Every year our College offers to our students and staff the opportunity to acquire experience abroad, learn from best practices, improve leadership, teamwork, intercultural communication and language skills, as well as strengthen the self- confidence and independence of students and pedagogical competences of lecturers.
The mobilities focus on the development of entrepreneurial thinking and application creativity, strategic thinking and business planning/ management tools. The participants work under supervision and in cooperation with the organisation's personnel. Thus, they apply the theory they learned during the academic semester into practice, in real-life situations.
All college students and faculty can apply and take part in any of the mobility programmes by contacting the Student Affairs Student Mobility office. For more information, please contact us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or 23010023.

D-VET Project 2021-2023
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the regular delivery of education and training and forced the education sector to face a lot of challenges connected to the sudden shift to online and distance learning. But at the same time it provoked educators to think how to turn these challenges to opportunities and to look for new ways of teaching and training, especially those working in VET sector because of the specifics of the subjects taught.
This project aims to boost the digital competencies of educators as well as providing the know-how to create online VET lessons and equipping them with tools, methodologies and ready-to-use materials. By the end of the project there will be an online collection of lessons that will be free to access for both VET educators and students. Watch this space!
