Mobility, Employability and European Development for Professional Growth

Study abroad and build your professional future in Europe

MOVE UP offers a structured and fully supported international training experience, designed to help young people to develop professional, linguistic and transversal skills aligned with the needs of the European labour market.

Through an international training programme in Italy, participants can strengthen their professional profile, gain valuable international exposure and enhance their employability in both local and European contexts.

A concrete opportunity for professional growth in Europe

MOVE UP is an international mobility initiative designed to transform cross-border learning into a real opportunity for professional development.
It is not simply an experience abroad, but a well-structured learning pathway aimed at strengthening employability and supporting young people in their professional growth.

The project is funded under the PMT – Transnational Mobility Projects of Regione Piemonte (ESF+) and is implemented through a collaboration between INFOR ELEA and İstanbul Üniversitesi.

The initiative is addressed to young Turkish participants interested in acquiring international business skills through a high-level training experience in Italy.
