Objective
OBJECTIVES
This project will involve looking at alternative ways of building a working career to provide a solution to the problems of employability being encountered by young people who have been marginalised following a series of setbacks during their initial training. The partnership proposes to explore the concept of "partial qualification", which suggests the potential employability of young people who are only partially qualified rather than having a full vocational qualification. These young people would then be encouraged to complete their qualifications throughout their working careers. The partners will identify the partial qualifications likely to be of interest to various sectors and to form the subject of specific training programmes, and will finalise suitable training courses.
ACTIVITIES
In the first phase, the partnership will explore the concept of "partial qualification", taking into account the skills needed on specific labour markets such as that of fishing, agriculture, mechanical engineering, electronics, health and local services. It will note the demand for partially-skilled labour and develop new curricula for these specific fields of vocational training. At the same time, the partners will work on alternative methodologies for assessing and validating acquired knowledge, in co-operation with sectoral organisations, employers, social partners and schools. This training will then be tested among a sample group of young people and assessed by the whole partnership, before being disseminated.
PRODUCTS
Preparation of training aids which will enable the target public to acquire the partial vocational qualifications for which there is specific demand from employers and which will give them the means to gradually build up a working career despite their initial disadvantage.
