Enhancement of WBL models is the objective of numerous cooperation agreements between European states and it is also a goal of the EU Commission. This has led to initiatives such as the “European Alliance for Apprenticeships”, which was launched in July 2013. Work-based learning in all its forms is a flexible VET model that serves the various interests of society. WBL experiences represent a fundamental tool for the development of key competences in dealing with working changes and ensuring employability. It has been highlighted the strong educational value of such experiences as they enable the acquisition of knowledge and competences, additional to those obtained through the ordinary training curriculum, as well as of intercultural and language abilities and skills, attitudes towards change and “international competences”. TRAM-WEB project improves transnational WBL for learners by creating and validating a WBL implementation model engaging companies, schools and VET organisations. Through its focus on educational opportunities and career advancement in the labour market, TRAM WBL project has the potential to turn entry-level work experiences into career opportunities, thereby increasing learning and improving student retention and education progress. The mutual business-school support of a WBL model helps create a community-wide environment of collaboration and cooperation. TRAM-WBL project has implemented a platform to provide support to international mobility within formal learning pathways. The platform may be used for the management and administration of international mobility activities offering support to learners, teaching staff and host companies in a way that should ensure that the full value of international mobility experiences is achieved. It offers a consistent framework for mobility. It includes: quality assurance elements; shared references which can be considered as a “common body” of learning outcomes related to a qualification which is applicable across countries; eligibility criteria, which are to be met by institutions that want to join the network; templates for LA, MoU and PT.The project management activities included the organization of a kick off meeting, 4 transnational meetings and a final International conference.TRAM-WBL partnership consists of 11 partners from 7 different countries:FONDAZIONE CENTRO PRODUTTIVITÀ VENETO–IT is a Foundation promoted by the Chamber of Commerce of Vicenza and other 4 Chambers of Commerce and several Business Associations.ASSOCIAZIONE STUDIO L&P–IT carries out researches, surveys, studies on the industrial sector.
