Why it Matters
Despite having the right policies, Europe still struggles with fragmented systems.
That’s why we are:
Standardising credit transfer and contract protocols
Creating digital tools to track and manage apprenticeships
Launching pilots in real joint degree programmes
Building support structures and advisory networks
Focusing on inclusive, equitable mobility access
This means apprentices will move more freely, employers will host with confidence, and HEIs will align across borders.
