Project Summary
European faces severe population ageing in the future. Right now mostly youth and people over the age of 45 are on social welfare. Retirement age has been increased yearly since 2006. Solutions to this problem, amongst others, is an increased retirement age. However many older job seekers find that the older you are, the more difficult it is to get a job. A lack of technology aptitude is a common worry for employers. Promotion of positive possibilities in older age is needed. Furthermore, academic research convincingly shows that most jobs come through a network.The Mij-groep in the Netherlands is starting a new European partnership in adult education and ICT. The duration of the program is two years. The target group consists of elderly people who are unemployed. For this target group there exist a number of barriers which make their coming back to a learning environment difficult.The project responds to the need of:- education based on realistic problems- acquiring new knowledge and skills- understanding of obstacles – guidance and motivationThe main objective of the program is to study and follow 4 target groups (each country) to research the effect of on- and offline networking, more so the effectiveness of added support.
