ACTION aimed to enrich support in the work-based insertion schemes aimed at low-skilled and vulnerable adults, to improve their social and professional inclusion through upskilling to access sustainable employment. To this end, the project has contributed to the development of the method of work-based training, a form of learning and integration adapted to the targeted groups. ACTION aimed to strengthen, structure and formalise the support provided to these groups, to better define and mentor their career path and lead to sustainable work integration. ACTION thus pursues, as an operational objective, the clarification of the roles and missions of insertion counsellors, by then equipping them for the implementation of these missions, by: - Defining the framework of action for the counsellors (role, missions, practices, etc.) - Providing a structure for the insertion pathway, including the key steps and elements to maximize it - Involving the beneficiary in their journey, so that they can document and capitalise on their progress and pathway - Working on the definition of the beneficiaries’ professional project and job search
When low-skilled adults enter a socio-professional integration process, they need personalised support, allowing them to acquire skills, benefit from personalised guidance and get help to defuse obstacles to employment. As they are not always ready to enter the traditional job market, they can usefully be redirected towards insertion contracts, in specialised work-based insertion whose approach is adapted to them (practical work, adapted pedagogy, etc.). The work-based pedagogy establishes a framework that facilitates the acquisition of skills in professional situations. The formative aspect of these schemes is therefore a key element of their success. Within integration companies, they get their feet back on the ground by benefiting from adapted, individual support within a group. On the field, those who supervise them – the so-called “insertion counsellors”- are multiplying the practices, experiences and resources to do so. Their profile varies, as do the roles and missions they assume. It therefore seemed relevant to work on clarifying their professional posture and improving the resources they mobilise.
