Opening Inclusion for Equality to Jobs

"<< Background >>All adult people need a broader set of competences to find fulfilling jobs and become independent, engaged citizens who contribute to society. The pre - application consultations among the partners had indicated that there is a lot of research concerning “key competencies” and “employ ability skills”, however in many EU member states and partner countries the approach to education at every stage of life is not so much “competency driven” – it is rather knowledge that is being offered.OIE JOBS general objective was always the inclusion of adults with learning impairment and the project worked on stigma, isolation, social exclusion and lack of access to jobs world through awareness, empowerment, creating participatory spaces, the approach of activities that generate a horizontal and based on literacy and SIREN methodology.Tools project design adapt to help learners with special needs achieve a higher level of personal self-sufficiency and success in the community. During implementation of the project partners worked in similar fields (adult learning) exchanged good practices, provided transfer of experience aimed at wide reach in different regions of Europe.<< Objectives >>OIE JOBS supported opportunities in acquiring and developing key competences, including basic skills in order to foster employ ability, socio-educational and personal development, as well as participation in civic and social life. It catered for adults, including NEETs, who lagged behind in mainstream education for personal, economic, social, psychological, physical, cultural or learning challenges and had therefore left school without those skills. The primary goal aimed to support the development, transfer and/or implementation of innovative web practices as well as the implementation of joint initiatives promoting cooperation, peer learning and exchanges of experience at European level. The project proposal initiative started by TRAMES given its experience in the subject and in the use of SIREN methodology and tools: the LMS Master Study multilingual development of the online platform up to readiness for internal pilot testing within partnership. The project focused on exchange of good practices between partner organizations and its staff. This small-scale partnership enabled participants' organizations to gain experience in international cooperation and strengthened their capacities.<< Implementation >>OIE JOBS was being implemented from November 2021 till July 2023. The objectives were set and reached:1. TRANSFER OF KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE between partners, especially from TRAMES to others how to use SIREN methodology and a PARTNERSHIP WIDE CAPACITY BUILDING activity whereby the method and the web based technology used are explored with a variety of target groups of adults (under 18 years old, including NEETs) that form the audience of the partners. 2. AUGMENTATION OF AWARENESS OF THE SPECIAL LEARNING NEEDS OF ADULTS COMING OUT ILLITERATE FROM SCHOOL within the partnership and in the same process the stakeholders within their respective communities, their networks and players reached through dissemination in study visits. 3. EXCHANGE PRACTICES ABOUT A BASE OF INFORMATION ON THE USE OF THENATIVE LANGUAGE IN SITUATIONS OF INTERACTION by using SIREN Web Platform - which will not only allow for objective assessment the improvement of the literacy key competences but also will enable an individual person to follow a online development program, which will help him/her to enhance the most important key communication skill. << Results >>Expected results were set and reached: 1. NEW TOOLS IN THE HANDS OF THE PARTNERS AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS THAT ENABLE NEETs TO ACQUIRE LITERACY SKILLS AND COMPETENCES FOR BETTER EMPLOYABILITY. Often many people in society do not understand the situation that young adult people with learning impairment face every day. As a reaction to this the project partners proposed to learn how to use: a) SIREN Social Inclusion Replicable Education Network - online LMS platform / website b) Guide ""needS"" - an handbook that describes: - the ""deficit"" awareness and the proposed recommendation for raising levels for achievement in basic skills literacy, numeracy and basic digital skills, the needs of various groups of adults with learning impairment c) sharing between the project partners in the field of adults non-formal e-tools on literacy skills - key competence required for employability. The subject of work were on the 10 mostly sought after skills by employers in 2020 ie. a related topic to employ ability.2. IMPROVED COOPERATION BETWEEN THE ADULT SECTOR AND OTHER PLAYERS LIKE POLICY MAKERS IN EDUCATION, JOB CENTER, NGOs WORKING WITH VULNERABLE GROUPS AND PEOPLE WITH SPECIAL NEEDS IN EDUCATION, INTEGRATION AND EMPLOYMENT"
