Introduction The Leonardo da Vinci Programme The Leonardo da Vinci Programme is part of the European Commission’s Lifelong Learning Programme, which runs from 2007 until 2013. It is designed to build a skilled workforce through European partnerships. Leonardo funds overseas work placements and the development of training materials with the objective of improving the provision of Vocational Education and Training (VET) across Europe.

The overall objective of the Lifelong Learning Programme is to contribute, through lifelong learning, to the Lisbon goal set for the EU ‘to become an advanced knowledge based society with sustainable economic development, more and better jobs and greater social cohesion’. It aims to support these goals through promoting the exchange of best practice, co-operation and mobility between education and training systems within the EU, while respecting national diversity.

The Leonardo Programme focuses on raising the quality and relevance of VET. It provides an exciting opportunity for organisations involved in VET to build European partnerships, to exchange best practice, increase the expertise of their staff and to develop the skills of learners.

Activities funded through the Leonardo da Vinci Programme In 2013 the Leonardo da Vinci Programme funded the following types of activity managed by the Leonardo UK National Agency:  Preparatory Visits to help organisations interested in participating in the Leonardo Programme to find new partners or discuss and develop an outline of a planned project.  Mobility projects to enable learners, trainees and staff to undertake work placements in another European country to gain further training or work experience.  Small Scale Co-operation Projects (including Partnerships) that allow UK organisations to work with European counterparts on issues of mutual interest, to share good practice, experience and to discuss common problems.  Large Scale Co-operation Projects (including Transfer of Innovation) for the development of innovative practice and the transfer of results to new settings (e.g. target groups, sectors, countries) through working with transnational partners.

Leonardo Mobility Purpose of the Leonardo Mobility Action The main purpose of the Leonardo Mobility Programme in the UK is to improve the vocational skills of the UK workforce. Organisations can apply for Leonardo Mobility funding for two main activities: A European work placement for learners or a short study visit for staff involved in Vocational Education and Training.

Mobility Target Groups The three main target groups eligible to participate in a Leonardo Mobility project are as follows:

People in Initial Vocational Training (IVT) Those enrolled on a full-time or part-time course of initial vocational training, or those undertaking an apprenticeship and enrolled on a vocational training scheme in which training takes place at the workplace as well as in college. IVT courses typically include courses up to a level 4 on the European Qualifications Framework (the equivalent of level 3 on the Qualification and Credit Framework or Credit and Qualification Framework for Wales and level 6 on the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework.) You can send IVT trainees to another European country for a work placement to enable them to gain real experience and skills in employment.

People in the Labour Market (PLM) Those in employment, people undertaking work-based training, the self-employed and those available for work (including graduates and those who are currently unemployed). You can send people in the labour market to another European country for a work placement to enable them to gain real experience and skills in employment.

Vocational Education and Training Professionals (VETPRO) Professionals in vocational education and training who are employed in a business or training environment and whose day to day role includes the design or delivery of training, professional development or careers guidance. Examples include: teachers, trainers, vocational training staff, guidance counsellors, those responsible for training establishments or for training planning, occupational guidance within enterprises and human resource managers in enterprises.

Professionals can take part in short placements to learn from European colleagues. A placement will contribute to their personal development and allow them to learn new skills and ways of working, which they can bring back to their job in the UK.

Certificate in Mobility The idea of a certificate for mobility projects in the Leonardo da Vinci Programme emerged during the preparation of the Lifelong Learning Programme (LLP) which integrated the various education and training initiatives into a single Programme.

The Certificate in Leonardo Mobility recognises the operational capacity of an organisation to manage high quality projects under Leonardo da Vinci, their long term commitment to continuous improvement of mobility and the strategic approach of the organisation to incorporate transnational mobility in its activities.

The Certificate allows organisations with projects of a proven high quality, to have a longer term planning framework for the delivery of their Leonardo mobility projects. The certificate has been issued for a maximum period of 4 years and once awarded, organisations can submit a simplified application for funds in subsequent years (instead of the full application); for the duration of the certificate. The Certificate in Mobility is only awarded to a limited number of experienced organisations to ensure that the Leonardo Programme remains open to new applicants. As 2013 was the final Call year, there was no possibility to apply for the Certificate. However the current Certificates carried on into the 2013 Call.

The current Certificate in Mobility holders are:

The Scottish Football Association (certificate awarded in 2010)

Craven College (certificate awarded in 2011)

ECTARC (certificate awarded in 2011)

Edinburgh College-formerly Stevenson College (certificate awarded in 2011)

Bhagavat Educational Trust (certificate awarded in 2011)

The United Euro Bridge (certificate awarded in 2012)

Leeds City College (certificate awarded in 2012)

The graph below displays the number of Leonardo Mobility projects funded in 2013 for each UK country, broken down by target group; People in Initial Vocational Training (IVT), People in the Labour Market (PLM) and Vocational Education and Training Professionals (VETPRO). The vast majority of projects funded fall under the IVT target group, followed by PLM then VETPRO.

The chart below provides an overview of projects supported in 2013 per organisation type. This chart demonstrates a wide representation across sectors, both in the public and private domain. In 2013, Vocational Training Institutes, centres and organisations account for the majority of Leonardo Mobility projects (50.9%), followed by Small or Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) (13.3%), Non-Governmental Organisations (6%), and not for profit and voluntary organisations (8.3%). Other Types of Associations (9.6%) include large enterprises, VET provider associations, and bodies providing guidance or information.

The map below shows the geographical distribution of successful organisations promoting Leonardo Mobility projects in 2013. Please note that a number of organisations promote more than one project hence the total amount of indicators on the map being less than the 218 funded projects.

UK National Priorities for 2013

In 2013 the UK the National Priorities for the Leonardo Mobility action are as follows:  Applications from organisations that have not previously received Leonardo Mobility funding;  Applications which primarily target participants who are facing particular difficulties in the labour market (including those with special needs, older learners, immigrants, groups facing socio-economic disadvantage, those with few or no formal qualifications, refugees, travellers, those with disabilities and minority ethnic groups);  Applications whose primarily target participants are apprentices, and which can evidence labour market/sectoral need for their support.

Applications that clearly demonstrated how the proposed project addressed one or more of the above National Priorities were entitled to be awarded up to an additional 15 points at the assessment stage.

Please note that different National Priorities are set in each participating country and may also differ across each action under the LLP Programme.
