This study examines the impact of Erasmus+ work placements on Vocational Education and Training (VET) learners from Ireland. These placements are facilitated through Erasmus+ Key Action 102 mobility projects. Research was conducted by Léargas, the Irish National Agency for Erasmus+ in Adult Education, School Education, VET and Youth, during 2017.
The research is based on projects that received Erasmus+ KA102 funding from Léargas in 2014, 2015 and 2016 for mobility projects involving VET learners. The core objective was to analyse the fundamental changes that these work-based placements bring about for VET learners, and the associated impact on their sending organisations.
