Background

The majority of low-skilled adults takes part in learning to advance their career. However, learning opportunities do not always equip them with the skills needed for the labour market. Only two in three adults think that participation in training helped them achieve positive employment outcomes, such as performing better in their current job, being promoted, getting a (new) job or a higher salary. The main 2 reasons for applying were: 1) to make adult learning more interesting and relevant for adults with low digital skills; 2) to create outputs useful for adults, adult educators, labour advisors, policy-makers, social partners, public employment services and learning providers that can help to create better opportunities for adults with low skills.
