Summary/Abstract: The article is based on the European project E-Classes (Ref.no. 2017-1-RO01-KA202-037344), which is being developed within a partnership of eight educational and IT institutions from Bulgaria, Italy, Romania and Spain. The project aims at offering solutions to the new educational challenges in Europe; it provides science teachers and trainers with open educational resources (OER) which will enhance their professional, IT and pedagogical competences and facilitate their students’ transition from school to work. The article presents the E-Classes project: its methodology, objectives, target groups and outputs. It looks at the cooperation between students, schools and companies as considered within the partnership. The project partnership led to the creation of videos relying on interviews students had with employers and also issues students appreciated as revealing essential aspects of the job. The testimonials collected from teachers and students participating in a virtual meeting with teachers and students from Bulgaria give some insights into this work-based learning experience.
