This project concerns on the basis of historical cooperation (TRANSVERSALIS 2009-2013) between the academic institutions and following the strategies set by the regional and national authorities, the project is committed to this themes:
• Link competences and training offer: the creation of cross-border models should be a tool for the global integration of training and mobility support systems.
• Take into account changes in business models to change training methods (alternation - apprenticeship - recognition of equivalence of professional experience): the training offer and the recognition of competences must be developed in a continuum of territories resulting in the creation of joint alternating training courses or the co-validation of cross-border diplomas by the validation of the acquired experience (VAE).
• Train the Trainers: implementation of guidance tools necessary for the success of competences acquisition course.
• Reinforce competences and inclusion within territories.
• Promote the endogenous potential, the development of training systems and the competences of people from the cross-border territory to improve access to work.
