The Ca@Se project aims at increasing the employability potential of low-skilled and low-qualified people working in the health and care sector and at developing social entrepreneurship. Project partners, both public and private, have identified the necessity to train staff (educationalist, professionals, job coaches, public servants and other third sector workers) in order to have the necessary skills to asses formal and informal competences of low-skilled and low-qualified people working in the health and care sector, as well as to offer them guidance services helping them in social business start-up. In fact, unemployment is a crucial problem of today’s Europe and one of the main EU targets is to reach the employment rate of 75% for women and men by 2020. At the same time, SMEs give employment for the two thirds of people working in the private sector in Europe. However, entrepreneurship in Europe is not so appreciated as a career option, mainly because of lack of formal entrepreneurial learning. But not having a qualification doesn’t mean necessarily that white job workers don’t have the skills needed and the EU is aware of this fact. Therefore, in order to support the job insertion of disadvantaged groups (such as immigrants, unemployed, older workers) the EU is fostering the assessment and validation of their competences with a focus on learning outcomes, as well as their entrepreneurial education. Particular focus is dedicated to social entrepreneurship, as it creates sustainable jobs and help the people in need. Creating social businesses, through the assessment of formal and informal competences and providing guidance on social business start-up, therefore, could be a good option in order to overcome high unemployment rates. During the lifetime of the project the following activities will be implemented: INTELLECTUAL OUTPUTS O1 - Ca@Se Assessment Handbook will be a guide for professionals working with low-qualified people operating in the health and care sector in order to assess their competences acquired in informal or non-formal context. O2 - Ca@Se Training Handbook, based on the learning outcome approach and on O1. It will be used to train educationalists and professionals, through a blended-learning methodology, in order to gain skills to provide guidance and support to low-qualified people on the assessment of their competences and social business start-up. O3 - Ca@Se Social Business Plan Kit, it will include a business plan model, a database and a protocol and will setup a guidance desk in the partner countries where low-qualified people can get information on how to develop a business plan. Final aim is to develop 10 business plans per country (15 in IT). The Guidance desk will be maintained for 1 year after the project end. MULTIPLIER EVENTS to further disseminate these outputs E1-5: Local Dissemination events in all partner countries E6: Ca@Se Final Conference in Pamplona/ES LEARNING, TRAINING, TEACHING ACTIVITIES Aimed at delivering EU shared competences on Social Business Plan Elaboration to 11 educationlists and professionals belonging to partners staff. It will consist of 5-days training in Glasgow/UK. These activities foresee the involvement of approx. 75 educationalist and professionals, 55 low-skilled and low-qualified people and approx. 260 stakeholders (representatives of local/regional authorities, social enterprises, associations and communities of migrants, voluntary associations, volunteer organizations,charities, trade unions, chambers of commerce, professional associations, adult education and VET centers, etc.) at EU level. The project foresees also intangible results, such as an innovative training offer of the PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS who will integrate the outcomes in their curriculum, an increased employability of LOW-SKILLED AND LOW-QUALIFIED PEOPLE and a better understanding on skills assessment methods by ADULT EDUCATION PROFESSIONALS who participate in the Ca@Se Pilot Training (during or after the project period), quality support services provided to LOCAL COMMUNITIES, freely accessible products on the project website in all partner languages for the benefit of STAKEHOLDERS at NA/EU level (also after the project end), an increased quality of ADULT EDUCATION AND TRAINING for disadvantaged groups and improved methodology for the assessment of professional skills and guidance services on social entrepreneurship in the health and care sector. Furthermore, in order to ensure sustainability and further exploitation of the project products, Ca@Se Guidance desks will be created in each partner country to support the employability of low-qualified people. These Guidance desks will be maintained for at least 1 year after the project end.
