The aim of this project is to help low-skilled or unqualified adults, identifying transverse skills that have acquired a long-term life span and have not validated either in their jobs or in their formal or non-formal education, and their further recognition according to the European Framework. It will be encouraged the self-knowledge, job placement or increasing European employment and mobility. The identification of these transversal competences will begh a technological tool in web format and a mobile application, free and predictive for easy use. It will be carried out under a solid and technical design that ensures their correspondence with the European parameters and fundamentals and with the labor needs of the 21st century. This project is aligned with the Erasmus + program priorities for adult education: • Achieving high quality skills and competences: we support people to acquire and develop transversal competences, including mathematical and digital competences, to boost employment capacity, socio-educational and professional development. • Social inclusion: Through integrated and innovative approaches we will favor social inclusion, reducing the social diversity caused by training and unemployment. • Open and innovative practices in the digital age: We will develop a technological tool that can be accessible to everyone, on mobile devices and computers • Educators: Educators will be provided with the knowledge for the effective use of the tool being developed, thus updating their knowledge. • Transparency and recognition of competences and assignments: Through the framework that defines transversal competences according to the European Framework, we aim to facilitate employability and learning. We will connect the results of the project with the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System. The target group are adults with needs of training (or learning), however other stakeholders will be involved in the project: -> Adults are the main benefits of this project and are those who collaborate in the realization of each of the IO. A minimum of 500 adults will be involved in the project for the development of the IOs. -> A minimum of 50 educators will take part in the development of IOs. -> For multiplier events a minimum of 100 participants have been established, however, they are intended to be executed for a considerably larger number of participants, within the subjects are in learning situation, educators, managers of training organizations and political agents And other stakeholders. There will be four main activities established as Intellectual Products. So chronological ordering reveals the structure of the process. IO1: It will proceed to the foundation of the framework of competences through the parameters and established by the European Union and a field of work that are done with adults and jobs. This ensures the identification of transversal competences typical of the 21st century. IO2: Creation of a technological tool in web format to be used from any computer and in mobile device format so that it can be extracted from the mobile device of any intelligent device. IO3: Provide feedback and feedback from adults and adult educators on the platform and mobile device and developed. IO4: Dissemination of the the main output of the project through adult education organizations, adult education networks and decision-makers. The methodology at all times is teamwork. It will be led and supervised by the University of Valladolid and by the person in charge of each of the IOs. This methodology is essential for the direct work with the group that are carried out throughout the project. All partners are responsible for their tasks and active participation in each of the IOs. It is expected to have a large impact on adults. Nowadays, the importance of transverse competencies from the employers is similar to the techniques - if not greater, but there are no parameters of control or evaluation of the same. With this project, it will be achieved a tool capable of assessing the level of personal's transversal competences, allowing to give people information in order to improve them. In the long term, through the use of this tool it is possible to increase the level of competences of the adult population, and more concretely of adults with low qualifications and difficulties to access formal education. It will also help reduce the social differences caused by non-access to training.

A minimum of 500 adults have participated during the project in the elaboration of the IO. -> A minimum of 50 educators have taken part in the development of IOs. -> For the multiplier events, more than 100 participants have participated, including adults in learning situations, educators, leaders of training organizations and political agents and other stakeholders. Main activities established as IOs have been carried out. So chronological ordering reveals the structure of the process. IO2: Creation of a technological tool in web format to be used from any computer and in mobile application format so that it can be used from the mobile of any smartphone device. IO3: Have feedback and feedback from adults and adult educators of the mobile platform and application already developed. The methodology at all times has been teamwork and distribution of tasks. It is led and supervised by the University of Valladolid and by the head of each of the IOs. This methodology has been key in dealing directly with the target group throughout the project. All partners have been responsible for their tasks and active participation in each of the IOs. The expected impact on adults has been achieved. Currently, the importance given to transversal competences from employers is similar to technical competences - if it is not greater - but there were no control or valuation parameters. This project has achieved a tool capable of assessing the level of transversal skills of a person, allowing the feedback of information so that they can improve them. In the long term, through the use of this tool, it will be possible to increase the level of skills of the adult population, and more specifically of those adults with low qualification and difficulties in accessing formal education. In the same way, it will help to reduce the existing social differences produced by the lack of access to training before.
