IFOM holds extensive experience in implementing Erasmus+ traineeships for VET learners both as sending and receiving organization. With the support of the Erasmus+ programme we have sent abroad and received over 5000 vocational students. This track record has equipped us with an all-around set of practical skills, e.g. coaching pupils and students, organizing cultural visits, reacting to unexpected setbacks etc. As a recognition of our experience and achievement in March 2021 we've been granted the Erasmus+ 2021-2027 Accreditation in the VET sector, which is called ComBO: Learning + Mobility.

Our international team of experts offers a tailored support to schools and companies throughout all the phases, from proposal design to participants selection, from preparation to monitoring, evaluation and reporting.
