Programmes with internship

FORTES proposes itself as an operational partner in ESF (European Social Fund)/POR (Regional Operational Programme)

projects aimed at the implementation of transnational mobility paths in PCTO (Paths for Transversal Competences and Orientation, formerly Dual Education System).
For the internship in the company, which is the main core of this mobility, FORTES provides a consolidated network of foreign partners, and through them, of loyal companies through years of collaboration.

In identifying and organising the internship, FORTES pays great attention to the participant's profile, the project and personal objectives and the expected learning outcomes.
The reference framework of FORTES for the organisation of traineeships is the European Quality Charter for Transnational Mobility (ECR EC No. 2006/961).

During the design phase it collaborates with the promoting body in the analysis of needs, in the elaboration of the project idea and supports it in the use of the platform.
