On 12th November 2017, Apricot held an event at their offices in Loughborough for the benefit of local companies who had expressed an interest in language learning for their employees. The event was well attended and the content, with its focus on employability, useful particularly for delegates with an HR remit. The employers who attended were encouraged to promote the project through their business networks.

Apricot presented the training platform to key members of a large nationally funded Job Centre in Genova. The learning materials were then further disseminated at the bi-annual regional jobs fair run by the agency. The estimated audience was in the region of 300 delegates. These included employers, VET institutions, local and regional authorities as well as students and young job seekers. They were all encouraged to register on the platform, try out the learning modules and further promote the project through their own networks.

The VGCLIL platform was presented to a group comprising 10 learners studying English as a second language at a local VET institution. They tried out a number of modules and found them useful as an aid to job searching. The materials also improved their 'functional' skills in English.

The project was presented at a conference in Meppel, Netherlands to an international audience comprising 35 delegates. Flyers were distributed in addition to a short presentation on the purpose of the CLIL project and a description plus samples of the materials and resources imminently available in 5 languages.

Apricot was asked to present the project at a local VET institution interested in using the CLIL methodology to improve the career prospects of adult job seekers wishing to improve their language skills in order to work in other EU countries.
