The Strategic Plan of the Institution determines 2 strategic lines associated with internationalization, being them mobility of students/staff and the improvement of the Basque VET system by means of participation in innovation/good practices exchange international projects.

In the case of cooperation and innovation and good practices projects, the objective of the institution is to share useful experiences (curricular development, didactical methodologies, inclusivity…) and/or generate learning experiences and results, both in technical area (in one of our teaching fields: Mechanical production, Business and finances, Electricity-electronics, and Energy Installations and Renewables) and transversal ones (internship tutoring, dual formation…) that will help us to improve our performance.
Regarding the projects of policy development and cooperation, our Institution’s goal is to play the role of a collaborator in the education field (especially in the energetic field where we consider ourselves referent partners) in projects which comprise development of new curricula, adaptation to new training needs in a European context.
