e-Mentoring: New skills and competencies for new jobs
Start date: Jan 1, 2011,

The project addresses common learning needs of students in Higher Education and Vocational Education and Training (VET) institutions and adults to get employment-related skills/competencies for re-/entering fast-changing labour market. Mentoring provided by mentors (employers/employees) has proved itself in all 3 educational sectors as an effective learning process of integrating/preparing students and adults for employment/starting businesses. These 3 groups of learners are traditionally not merged in relation to their learning/training needs on employability and entrepreneurship, which are very similar or even overlapping. Research done by partners prior to the project (in 2009) showed that there are common learning needs for these 3 groups on learning via mentoring. However, occurring challenges of face-to-face mentoring restrict the implementation of mentoring in wide scale. Thus, project creates a possibility to share good practice experiences on mentoring in 3 educational sectors, to transfer best solutions into common e-Mentoring model, to enhance e-Mentoring process by integrating Open Educational Resources (OER) for self-directed learning on employability and entrepreneurship into e-Mentoring model. ICT-enabled learning solutions (Web 2.0, Moodle, etc.) enhance productivity and accessibility of e-Mentoring ensuring its common use in 3 educational sectors. Project also develops the Self-training e-Learning courses for 3M-actors published openly with Web 2.0 tools to cover common learning needs on e-Mentoring management and resulting in e-Learning platform for e-Mentoring with e-Guidebook. OER for self-directed learning on using e-Mentoring will be published on Web 2.0. Collection of good practices and tools for increasing employability and entrepreneurship will be developed as OER to enhance e-Mentoring process. Social networks will be created to promote e-Mentoring model worldwide. Envisaged impact - to increase capacities of Higher Education, VET students and adults to re-/enter labour market.
