Objective
Many adults want to return to work, but have no idea of the core skills they have and the core skills they need for the range of occupations available. This need has been compounded by many occupations remaining stereotyped for one sex or the other. In order to de-stereotype jobs, the core skills need to be identified by adults themselves. This project will develop a simple tool to allow them to do this.
The project will design, develop and test the methodology and materials for determining core skills in adults in a way that is not interpreted by them as a test. The partners also aim to ensure that the materials are gender friendly and do not stereotype women and men into certain occupations. A pilot will focus on occupations involving information technology, but the principles are applicable to core skills in a range of occupational areas.
The partners will identify good practice case studies throughout the EU. They will then undertake a comparative analysis and create a pilot 'core skills scan' methodology. The final products will be an equal opportunities index test for teachers and trainers to use when either writing or purchasing materials (in English, Spanish, Greek and Italian), and a new system for teachers and trainers to unobtrusively identify core skills in adults.
Impact
The project will result in a new structure for helping unemployed people, including those with no educational qualifications, to find work, by identifying their learning needs and taking up training.
