Mobility Department
our story so far, our mission and numbers
ECTE has been implementing European Mobility Programs, such as Leonardo da Vinci, Erasmus, IdA and international private placements since the beginning of the 90s. These programs come under the Mobility Actions for Young workers or unemployed, trainers, educators, people involved in the initial or further vocational training programs, and people from vulnerable social groups. Mobility Programs give the opportunity to individuals to improve their labour qualifications and to enrich their professional experience.
In the frame of mobility programs, more than 5.000 young people (and counting…) have been trained in Rethymno from Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Turkey and United Kingdom.
