Keep employment by developping e-skills.
Start date: Dec 1, 2007,
Age discrimination underlies many of the difficulties faced by senior workers in thelabour market. The demand for new skills and knowledge places many of them at adisadvantage, as their training earlier in life is likely to be obsolete. Senior workers witha lack of competences face additional barriers in accessing employment and trainingopportunities. To face this disadvantage it is necessary to equip these workers with newskills in new areas as well as improving the knowledge and competences they alreadypossess.The KEMP project aims at training senior workers at SMEs in the service sector, whoare at risk of unemployment due to the lack of e-skills to face the ICT-based society andthe changes in economic relations. KEMP addresses the theme of learning in later lifeby impacting the conception and organization of training courses that aim to develop eskillsof senior workers at SMEs in the services sector, in order to provide them with thenecessary tools and skills to cope with change and to allow them to stay employedwhen facing the e-challenges.KEMP project outcomes will consist of: (i) Needs analysis report on e-skills and goodpractices compilation on learning methods and pedagogical techniques oriented to thetarget group; (ii) Course structure and course contents; (iii) European pilot course (iv)National training course; (v) Dissemination and exploitation events: Brochure,newsletters; website, online forum and national seminars.
