General Objectives
SWORD will analyse existing models of Dual Learning (DL), aiming at
bringing to a new, shared European approach.
SWORD aims at identifying a model of DL foreseeing cross-national
mobility processes and strengthening the transition from school to
training and to Labour Market (LM).
Within the SWORD project, the Province of Trento intend to:
- Enhance the role of apprenticeship into the education and
training offer; introducing accompanying forms for the transition of
students to the LM; introducing an integrated system of curricular
internships, summer internships and placement;
- Identify local centres, able to combine training schemes and the
production chain, to create networks among technical education,
VET, vocational training, university and research, and enterprises.
3
Reasons for SWORD
The general goal for Province of Trento, Province of Bolzano, the Region
Friuli-Venezia Giulia and the area of Gdansk (represented by TNOIK) is
to run a test of a model for the transition from school to the LM.
Among the partners belonging to countries where Dual Learning Models
is already used, Arbeit und Leben – Hamburg, as well as BFI Upper
Austria, have been working for a long time together with other local
players involved, on an assessment of the existing critical issues,
especially in the transition from school to the LM.
SWORD will merge these goals, in order to identify an innovative model
of transition, by paying attention to the promotion of experiences which
combine classroom training and enterprise training to develop
professional skills, adequate to innovative labour market and research
fields.

Project management
The key issues are:
- a partnership agreement, stating management strategies and
partners' responsibilities;
- a kick-off meeting, appointing the Project Steering Committee,
the operational structure and the activities timeplan;
- a clear subdivision of responsibilities among partners; the
elaboration and distribution of a monitoring plan and the definition of
feedback mechanisms connected to the decision moments;
- a project logo and the activation and implementation of a
dedicated website including a reserved work area for the partnership;
- use of telephone, e-mail, skype and other telecommunication
tools for constant contacts among partners;
- partners meeting every six months, open to other stakeholders
(coming from institutions, enterprises, research, education and
training). First and last meeting in Trento, + 2 in Hamburg, 1 in Linz,
1 in Gdansk, and 1 in Trieste.

Expected results
3 intellectual outputs (O1, O2, O3)
5 local multiplier events (E1) and 1 transnational conference (E2)
2 mobility schemes, one study visits to Austria and Germany for trainers
(C1, duration 5 days) and one for young people (C2, duration 28 days)
Signature of cooperation agreements among partners, based on the
recommendations and guidelines given in the Manual of Game Rules,
and aiming to make operational a model of dual learning foreseeing as
well education-to-labour-market transition moments to be
carried out in different countries through cross-national mobility
processes.
Development of a network of schools, training agencies and enterprises,
supported by public local administrations in order to guarantee internal
and external mobility of the project target groups, also thank to the
participation to future calls for mobility projects.
