EMPI Erasmus+
job-shadowing
EMPI offers Erasmus+ job-shadowing mobilities in the Gargano Peninsula, Southern Italy, providing teachers, educators and staff with insightful professional learning experiences through observation and knowledge exchange in real working environments.
Each job-shadowing mobility is tailor-made in cooperation with the sending organisation, aligned with participants’ profiles and Erasmus+ learning outcomes.
