Cardiff SME joins EU collaboration to address youth employability
This week a local SME (CCW-Training Academy), based at 5-7 Museum Place, Cardiff, has successfully completed an Erasmus+ (KA2 – Strategic Partnership) two year project called E2MP. CCW-Training Academy is one of the very few companies in Wales to be successful in partnering with European organisations to receive a joint funding bid from the European Commission. The €200,000 project is now live (www.mobilitycompetences.com) and offers Welsh Erasmus+ project managers and SMEs’ the opportunity to apply for funding on Erasmus+ projects. The initiative will assist young people to secure funded work experience abroad and help to improve their employability skills.

The project is based on innovation and strategic partnership, drawing upon good practices and working processes from partners in Italy, Poland, France and Wales. The dissemination event was held at 5-7 Museum Place, Cardiff where 20 guests from across Wales learned about the project and how to access funding.
