Our Mission

The aim of Vitalis is to match the needs of our students with what is required in a practical workplace, providing them with the opportunity to practice and develop their professional knowledge and competences so that they can increase their employability and become more competitive on the European labour market.

ERASMUS+

Vitalis coordinates projects for the different member companies concerning receiving students under the framework of the Erasmus+ programme and other European projects. Most students we receive are enrolled in secondary or higher vocational courses in a European college of education.

Your Commitment

Over the past 20 years we have received thousands of students from around Europe, and we appreciate for many of them it is the first time away from home as a young adult. What we ask of all students is to respect our guidelines on antisocial behaviour and make the most of the opportunity they have been given.



Take the first step ...

Let us know who you are and the practical course you are interested in attending. If you are a student or a teacher we will need to know where you are studying or working. If your college is already part of the Erasmus+ programme we will let you know what you should do to enroll on one of the courses. If not, we will try and contact the college directly to explain how it works.
