LaProf is a Multilateral Project that aims to promote language awareness to immigrating workforces in two sectors: ICT and agriculture. The main goal is to provide access to language learning resources that will help familiarize candidate immigrants with the terminology and cultural issues in their sectors through developing and disseminating language learning exercises. The pilot user communities addressed are (a) ICT teachers living in Estonia (and the Baltics, in general) who want to move and work in Finland, and (b) agricultural professionals living in Romania who want to move and work in Greece.

The project’s focus encourages European citizens from Estonia and Romania to learn official European languages (such as English, French, Finnish, and Greek) to help them better understand the working environment and culture of the targeted countries (i.e. Finland and Greece). To achieve this, LaProf will raise the awareness of available language learning activities and develop and disseminate language learning materials. LaProf will develop and promote language learning methodologies and resources to motivate the language learners and enhance their capacity for language learning so that the targeted user groups have greater ease acquiring language and cultural familiarity, and to raise awareness for the targeted languages.
