Project Summary

The project focuses on tackling the difficulties of (re)insertion on the labour market and in the community of migrants both from the EU and outside EU and of return migrants (individuals that take part in the remigration process, returning to their home country after a long stay abroad). The project will develop integrated solutions necessary for adult education providers in order to support (re)migrants, adults aged 45+, to acquire basic skills: entrepreneurship, digital and soft skills, and/or, to validate their competences. This way, adults 45+ are supported, in a holistic way, for social and professional inclusion.
The project is build on an assessment made by all partners in the preparation phase:
– assessment of 30 45+ migrants’/return migrants’ work skills- 5 for each of the partners. We know that assessing work skills can be complicated tasks as certificates are not always relevant, -we used the European Basic Skills Framework as guidelines in the process
– methodology- peer to peer discussions between the migrant/ return and a staff member
– out of 30 members of the group, only 10 have
The general objective: To provide solutions for better integration on the labour market and in society of adults 45+, wit migrant background, through basic skills learning.
Specific objectives
1.Designing dedicated programs for training 20 staff working with adults 45+
2. Provide tailored, holistic services for adults 45+, with migrant background, so that they can access labor market and actively participate in community. A mixt of validation services and training offers (for upskilling/ qualifying) , together with guidance for entrepreneurial innitiavies or job finding are to be designed.
3. Develop a learning strategy with 2 components: digital skills and soft skills that can be adapted to different contexts and target groups.
