Editorial

Taking courses within business forms an important
part of education and training. They actually make it
possible to have a genuine professional experience,
while being face to face with reality.
A training course is useful on many levels, because
it creates awareness of the business world, and of
the many skills looked for by employers It also allows
trainees to form themselves into a network, which is
always useful to add to their employability and to help
some of them to land their first jobs.
Training courses also help in self-awareness, and of
getting an idea of what a job might be. By guiding the
choice of career, they help prepare trainees for their entry into active life.
Still with the idea of acquiring greater experience and enriching the CV, training
courses abroad are also tremendous opportunities to compare different methods
of work, learn a foreign language and discover the customs of another land.
However, if there is not shortage of reasons for taking a training course abroad,
and their benefits are many, good preparation is an essential prerequisite to carry
them out properly.
The Euroguidance network, whose main aim is to pass on information on careers
and European mobility, has written this practical guide for professionals in
education and training to serve as a reference and to give methodological advice.
Rich in information: from setting up a training project to evaluating the mobility,
while covering the questions of financing, linguistic preparation and logistics, this
guide offers above all an accurate overview of the definition of the training course
and its legal framework, country by country.
I am sure that it will be of use to you every day in your consultancy projects and
your professional practices I also take advantage of this editorial to wish the
Euroguidance network a very happy birthday, as it reaches its 25th anniversary of
successfully supporting education and training stakeholders.
Good reading to all!
