CSVM - 'Cross Sector Virtual Internships'

• Funding programme
  CSVM is a project submitted to the 2006 EC Leonardo Da Vinci Programme.
  
  
• Objectives
  The objective of CSVM is to facilitate distance education students to enter into online working, stimulate their employability, and provide distance educational systems with increased business and market connectivity. The specific aim of the project is to establish a sustainable mechanism for interaction between the business and the distance education sector so as to enhance the inflow of knowledge in distance education and the employability of distance education students on the labour market. The project is to establish a unique European Portal which is to be the access point for Virtual Internships in distance HE. The CSVM project with its Virtual Internship Portal intends to contribute to the Lisbon Strategy and the Copenhagen Declaration in the sense of realising (be it a small part of) the emergence of a European labour market and a modernisation of the European education and training system.
  
  
• Outputs
  The final product will be a web-based Portal for standardised submission and placement of European Virtual Internship offers for distance HE
  
  
• Partners
  The CVSM project is coordinated by EADTU and the consortium consists of 10 partners stemming from seven European countries (BE, ES, EE, IT, HU, PL and NL) added with supportive organisations (to name: Chambers of Commerce, Regional Development Agency and Labour Centre).
