Léargas, the National Agency for Erasmus+ in Ireland, wishes to undertake an impact study to demonstrate the impact of Erasmus+ mobility projects in Vocational Education and Training (VET), for delivery by mid-2026.
The aim of the study is to demonstrate the value, benefits and impact of Erasmus+, for the individual participants, participating organisations and the overall provision of VET and apprenticeships in Ireland.
It seeks to further demonstrate how the implementation and the priorities of Erasmus+ align with national policy and how they can facilitate implementation of Ireland’s existing and soon-to-be launched FET Strategy 2025-2030.
The research will be undertaken under the supervision and guidance of the National VET Team.
What is the National VET Team?
The National VET Team is a team of national Experts composed of professionals active in Vocational Education and Training (VET). The Team supports the development and internationalisation of the VET sector, collaborates with other National VET Teams to share best international practices in VET, and provides advice and support to EU-funded projects under the Erasmus+ programme.
Léargas would like to invite proposals from interested and eligible researchers.
