Assessment of Social Skills for better possibilities for employment

The proposal aimed towards the development of an assessment system for for teachers/trainers, and other working with unemployed people and in particular with the aim to evaluate and accredit non-formal and informal education and training (knowledge, skills and competencies they have acquired through their experience).In the past years, social skills are more and more important to employers all over Europe. Despite the development, obtaining a formal education & training in the field has not yet been developed to its full capacity and potential, leaving a majority of unemployed in the field without any formal education or training or recognition of their knowledge, skills and competencies. For this reason, the project will give the opportunity to assess the knowledge, skills and competencies they have received informally through work,volunteer work or through talent over the years. The consortium of partners included institutions who have had previous experience in the materialisation of similar projects and who contributed constructively to the materialisation of this project. The consortium of partners consisted of Adult education organisations, Training organisations...etc. The partners have been capitalising on their previous experience and extending this experience through this specific project.The project has led to the development of a database with necessary exercises for assessment of knowledge, skills and competencies that unemployed have and that not have been highlighted before. Further, the project has developed a system of assessment mainly around theese steps: CV evaluation, assessment and feedback. The participants in the pilot process, in each of the participating countries, has been tested on their knowledge, skills and competencies which they have acquired informally through their work and other activities. Further, the web site of the project contains project information and a database that have been developed including a manual and tools for trainers/teachers. A network concisting of organizations, i.e. Public Employment Service, other adult educators, guidance centres and NGOs, was established to get feedback on the outcomes.
