A GLOBAL COMMITMENT

International Work Based Learning in Higher Education

4 European universities

3 VET centres

3 Associated partners

Our aim

Our aim is to build up an international WBL model through a didactical guide and an online training for the academic and company facilitators.

The international dimension of the project will help all partners to co-create and co-design models and guidelines to upgrade the cooperation between HE centres and companies. Together we will build up a model that can be easily adapted to each one’s individual needs.

i-WOBAL project will have a positive and long lasting impact on participants, organisations, associated partners and people involved in the actions and different target groups. It will boost international WBL at all levels, including innovation in education, encouraging cooperation and mutual learning, internationalisation, linking and collaboration between HE Centres and companies.

The project will have a direct impact on the partners of the consortium but it will also have an indirect impact on people and other important stakeholders reached by the multiplier events and other dissemination actions. This strategic partnership will benefit everyone, students, HE Centres, companies, and the society as a whole.
