"Our project will be carried out to increase the employability of VET students. To achieve this objective, the labor markets and studies of FP Slovaquia, Romania, Greece and Turkey will be analyzed. The project will focus on finding ways to improve the training of VET students to increase the chances of students from one of our countries to finish working in another of the countries analyzed. The objectives that are going to be treated are:- Avoid school absenteeism- Quick and efficient integration of immigrant students- Improve their professional, linguistic and digital skills, as well as soft skills such as social skills, leadership skills, interpersonal relationships, positive attitude, and teamwork, synergy of partners.- Exchange among the partners good innovation practices in the use of active methodologies in the field of learning such as Cloud computing, PRODETUR, ICT communication and other digital resources.- Study and comparison of the results of the FP students, based on the services and good practices carried out by each of the partners participating in the project, in order to analyze strengths and weaknesses and thus establish feedback channels in the improvement of the quality of services in FP.A group of professors of the different professional families and the participation of the students, will carry out the execution of the project.The topic on which our project will focus will be entrepreneurship, using tools such as PRODETUR and cloud computing, aimed at students learning to learn, planning tasks, times, collaborative and individual work, synthesis techniques, interaction among students, participation and search for information, realization of events, etc. In this way all students from other countries will be integrated and will be motivated not to leave.The project is aimed at students of Vocational Training of our center. Therefore, the groups of 1st and 2nd of the Middle Grade ""Administrative Management"" will participate andand of the Higher Degree ""Administration and Finance"" and ""Assistant to the Management"".Although our students receive training adapted to the business reality of our environment, the changing nature of this in terms of technology, forces us tobe in continuous training. One of the leading technologies in the market is the implementation of services, infrastructure and development platforms in the cloud. Bywe believe that the Erasmus projects are an ideal framework to be able to attend to this need that not only supposes an improvement in the professional training of our studentsbut also in the linguistic and cultural that allows the personal and social growth, working the social skills of the participants (not only students but also of the teaching staff and the own companies).ResultsThe development of the project is divided into two phases, according to the duration of the project, and consists of different tasks based on oral and written exhibitions made through the use of various tools and ICT applications (videos, posters, concept maps, timelines , videoconferences, interviews, advertisements, cover letters, etc.). These tasks are hosted, exchanged, compared and analyzed in the eTwinning Twinspace platform and a web page created for the project.The design and creation of a web page created for the diffusion of the project, in which a selection of the results will be exposed.The benefits that will be obtained will be multiple, the entrepreneurial spirit will be fostered, afterwards and of utmost importance the communication with other children, in the English language, they will know other cultures, other study methodologies, at the same time that they practice and carry out all their own activities of administration that has been assigned to them, be it purchase-sale, marketing, treasury, warehouse ... They will learn other ways of working. Hence, they are inspired to travel and see other countries, increasing the possibility of job search or entrepreneurship in those places where they have been communicating throughout the project. All this will make the student not leave since he will be motivated and excited to know and learn in a playful way, using ICT tools. Even those students enrolled in our center, from other countries, will feel fully integrated and accepted, feeling the same and working for a common goal, collaborating and contributing their native teachings."

“Teaching and Learning Arduinos in Vocational Training” Technology is developing very rapidly day by day. It is a fact that technological developments force a human to develop himself / herself continuously in his/her profession. More than any other field, electronic and information and communication technology are developing more rapidly. These developments have led to the production of more complex control systems. Arduinos are now used to control these complex systems. Since we are educational institutions that teach technology, we have to follow the developments in the world. “Teaching and Learning Arduinos in Vocational Training” Project aims to adapt arduino applications to vocational training and to develop a more efficient training set and a guidebook for the laboratories and the workshops of vocational & technical education students. The main objective of this project is to develop a good practice guide book and a Arduino training set, to introduce arduino training models to other participants during their visits to the host country, to compare different educational systems and training methods with other participating schools and to share best practices.Participants of the projects; electrical, electronic, ICT, automation VET teachers. Participants are teaching arduino in VET schools. There are one coordinator and a total of 4 partners in the project and partners are vocational schools from Turkey, Italy, Romania, Austria, Greece. The total number of mobilities in the project is 40. A total number of 5 TPMs will be realized throughout the project and each partner will participate in each TPM with 2 participants. One TPM will be held in each country. With the project activities, it will be ensured that the best practices will be shared for arduino teaching and the partners will adapt them to their educational environments. The project partners will produce Arduino experimental kits and a best practice Guidebook. Our project activities aim to provide a successful learning and teaching environment for all VET teachers and students. As a condition of successful learning, teachers need to strengthen their role in facilitating learning. Teachers need new experimental kits and modules for innovation, teamwork, feedback and evaluation. Teachers should be given this opportunity for continuing professional development. Main outputs of the project are; an Arduino Training Set for arduino lessons in vocational education and a GuideBook for this set, a project website, a project DVD.The methodology to be used in the execution of the project is “Make-Develop-Share”. In our project, good practices will be made first, then developed, and finally shared. Everything is open and transparent in our Project. Each task and responsibility will be recorded or written in the project. The products of the project are not only written or documentary products, but also a practical Arduino training set and kits. In the long term, we aim to disseminate the project to teachers, students and vocational education schools, local educational institutions, electronic and ICT labor market. We believe that the results and products of our projects will have short and long-term impacts on vocational education and labor market by the dissemination activities. The total budget of the project with 5 partners is 59,000 Euros.

Context/background of the project; Our project was based on the improvement of electronics´ training. “Electronics'' was considered especially in regards of the design and engineering and because of the fundamental changes in the production of industrial technology and, therefore, vocational education it had.Electronics, especially micro controlling, is essential for today´s technology as digital devices and robotics are widely used in all fields.
