Participants of HansaECVET

16 VET (Vocational Education and Training) providers and 16 hosting companies, two from each of our eight member states in the Baltic Sea Region (BSR).

The member states are in Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Sweden.

HansaECVET in brief Match-making refers to finding on-the-job places (host-companies) abroad, Project coaching refers to guiding the student and the host-company in the process originating from the student’s project (learning or business) to ensure success of the journeyman travel. The model provides quality assurance to VET mobilities through the use of individual projects involving all the three parts; VET provider, student and host-company.
