Objectives

The main objective of the project was to develop mechanisms and tools for the recognition and validation of prior learning. The developed methods and tools were targeted especially at adult learners in vulnerable situations and adult trainers working with vulnerable groups of learners.

Background

A large proportion of people face severe challenges in getting decent jobs, whether they are migrants trying to access education or enter the labor market or they may be disabled or otherwise in a vulnerable situation. They may have the necessary skills and competencies to do the job but they lack the recognition and validation of their skills. Or they may have skills gaps that could be filled with some specified learning tasks in order to be employed.
