Basic information about mobility of apprentices in Slovenia
 

Who is concerned?

 

The main transnational mobility program in Slovenia for VET is the Leonardo da Vinci Program. Around 600 participants are supported each year under the programme. For many, particularly in the initial VET group, this is the only way to access transnational mobility during their secondary education.
CMEPIUS, mobility and European educational and training programs, The Centre of the Republic of Slovenia for Mobility and European Educational and Training Programs (CMEPIUS) is a public institution working in the field of international projects and international mobility. It was established in October 2003 and continues the work of the previous EU Programs Agency. http://www.cmepius.si
The CMEPIUS works closely with the Slovenian Chamber of Craft and Small Business.
 

 

How is mobility organized?

 

In most cases IVET mobility lasts 2 or 3 weeks. More participants are trained in schools (65%) than in the workplaces (35%), but schools are increasingly building partnerships with companies.

 

Sources of funding

Work placement is only supported indirectly through the Slovene Human resources development and scholarship.
The majority of mobility programs are managed centrally by public fund ,Slovene Human Resources development and Scholarship fund ww.sklad-kadri.si .
