Greetings

Dear Visitor,

It’s our pleasure to welcome you on behalf of the Consortium of the Erasmus+ program’s “Work-based Learning for Higher Education System in Mongolia towards Better Employability of University Graduates” (MONGWBL) project website.
The MONGWBL project will be executed by a Consortium of 4 European Higher Education Institutions (1 German, 1 French and 1 Romanian, 1 Greek Institutions) and 9 Mongolian Partners. We wish this website to become a platform that will enable us to share our plans, achievements, and challenges that we will meet in the framework of MONGWBL project. We hope it will also become a useful information source for higher education institutions providing work-based learning.
