The project aimed to provided internship opportunities in companies abroad for 117 graduates coming from the four universities of the Marche Region. The internship lasted 3 months and it was preceded by a training in Italy. The University of Camerino was responsible for the training in Italy through  the project “Virtual Job Hunt”. The training, in e-learning modality, was held entirely in  English.
The part in e-learning of the project Virtual Job Hunt, in open source Moodle platform, is still an important tool for students and graduates, and involves the following steps:
1) “Basic English” course, as a support to refresh or obtain the basic knowledge of  English, in order to communicate in the foreign country of destination.
2) “Job Hunt” course, a training to help the graduate to follow the suggested steps in  searching for a job in an international context,  made with the help of texts and animated dialogues, organized around a virtual character depicting a graduate engaged in looking for a job. The common thread is the set of problems that the character must face and the corresponding solutions, all based on  dialogues in English between the graduate himself and his friends who provide tips and advises to carry on the active job search.
The course is mainly focused on: basic elements of job search, the importance of networking and of the major social networks, job search on the Internet, how to write a cover letter, a curriculum vitae, a letter of recommendation and on how to  get ready for a job interview
3) Videoconference by using Skype from USA (15 minutes) to carry out and simulate online a job interview with a consultant from USA. The consultant organizes the interview referring to  the letter and the curriculum vitae that have been prepared by the student on the basis of didactic materials and delivered on the platform before the job interview.
