Project Summary

Based on a successful methodology to support labour integration of low-skilled mature workers implemented in Spain, which has adressed 900 people in the last two years with a insertion rate of 41%, we aim take this experience at European level enriching and expanding it with the experience of Germany, Sweden and Lithuania. Taking as starting points the materials and methodology used in the Labora45 + program and its associated partners and the extensive experience of all EU partners we adapted these materials at European level. The materials to support labor integration are oriented to adults over 45 years and structured to be used by training and / or career guidance professionals. We also developed 4 functional APP’s (1 for each participating country) to support quick access to specific information of interest validated by both jobseekers aged over 45 years and professionals dedicated to them. The materials will were developed to be used on internet and mobile platforms. Their content is aimed at developing 3 key competencies determined by the adult education policy in the EU: Digital Skills, Learning to learn, and sense of initiative and entrepreneurship. Making use of a work plan we developed the materials and the mobile application with inputs from all partners, proceeding to the adaptation of the content in digital format and testing with 32 professionals and 64 people aged 45+ who are participating in training programs and / or career guidance pathways.The products are available for free to be use by both entities to users over 45 years. The MATURE platform, the tutorials and the APPS were very well received by the educational and labor community. Since its publication and until September 2018, they received around 30,000 visits. The APPS had about 17,000 searches in online stores.
