EU-VIP
Enterprise-University Virtual Placements
Since more and more organizations operate internationally, the pressure on education professionals to arrange work placements introducing students to an (international) working environment increases.
EU-VIP – Enterprise-University Virtual Placements – enhances the quality, efficiency and impact of international work placements by focusing on how to organize these placements, and thereby, boosting interaction between HEIs and enterprises using the advantages of the newest technologies.
EU-VIP provides the necessary (technical, pedagogical, organizational) models and services for:
- virtual mobility activities to prepare and follow-up students who go physically abroad for a placement
- fully virtual placements, from selection, preparation, execution to follow-up
It brings together and trains end-users (students, teachers, company representatives) in the use of new technologies for organizing (virtual) work placements. A guidebook (online and printed) collects all results and provides concrete, validated procedures, guidelines and recommendations.
All training materials are also published online so they can be used independently by other interested HEIs and companies who wish to engage in (virtual) work placements.
