PROmoting Management and Entrepreneurial THinking among the career counselors and guidance practitioners in the EU Societies
Start date: Oct 1, 2014, End date: Sep 30, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

PROMETHEUS is the Greek god that gave fire to the people. His name in Greek means forethought. He stands as a symbol of the human progress and the gift of fire and hope. Hope helps human beings to struggle to improve their lives while fire, as the source of technology, makes success in that struggle possible. What better metaphor can one find for the nowadays career counsellors and guidance practitioners. Their expertise and experience ensures that they can transfer the hope of better personal and professional realization to the people they work with and for. The rapid technologies’ development changes the dimensions of the learning and counselling environments and methodologies and the fire they need to make the counselling process more relevant and adequate to the new virtual generation’s needs and attitudes is the next logical step in the development of their profession – the online environment. PROMETHEUS.EU is that One Stop Virtual Space for Career Counselling and Guidance Services they need – an innovative online platform with open educational resources. All the Intellectual Outputs of the project will be uploaded and implemented on and via the platform - Intellectual Outputs: Career Pathways Research and Analysis Report (O1), 100+ Enlightenment Best Practices e-Book (O2), PROMETHEUS Peer Network (O3), PROMETHEUS. EU(O4), Online Career Counselling Guide (O5) and PROMETHEUS Toolkit with career counselling mobile apps (O6). PROMETHEUS directly addressed the strategic partnership priority for re-skilling and up-skilling of adults through increasing incentives for adult learning, information on access to lifelong learning services such as career guidance and by offering tailored learning opportunities to individual learners. The PROMETHEUS Intellectual Outputs will facilitate the enhanced participation in learning as well as the employability by developing quality career guidance, counselling and support services. The project team will achieve these goals in compliance with the program priorities for innovating and increasing the quality and range of initial and continuing training, including new pedagogies, ICT-based methodologies and use of open educational resources as well as the production and adoption of open education resources in diverse European languages. The project team includes 6 organizations from 6 European countries: BFE (Bulgaria), CIAPE (Italy), BEST (Austria), IED (Greece), Aspire-i Ltd. (UK) and CIT (Ireland). The partners possess outstanding expertise and experience and the synergy of their professionalism, pro-activeness and commitment to high quality performance, teamwork in the spirit of cooperation, mutual respect and support is the solid basis for the successful implementation of the project idea. The activities PROMETHEUS strategic partnership will organize will follow the logical framework of the project implementation and progress and include: management, coordination and monitoring activities; activities dedicated to the production of the Intellectual Outputs and achieving the set objectives and outcomes and activities for dissemination, exploitation and provision of sustainability. The envisaged impact for the first main target group - the young adults will be their better employability. They will also become aware of the benefits of a constant development and the participation in lifelong learning possibilities for better personal and professional realization. The impact for the second target group - the career counselling and guidance professionals is that they will be able to improve the quality and widen the scope of the services they offer and thus improve their managerial skills and enhance their pro-activeness and sense of initiative. As a result of all these they will really become PROMETHEUSes and will distribute the knowledge and commitment to constant personal and professional improvement and realization among the receivers of their services. The whole society including the stakeholders, employers, individuals, etc. as indirect target group of the PROMETHEUS project will benefit from the innovative and practical solutions to some of the most challenging nowadays problems. The main impact of the successful implementation of the project for the society will be the reinforced interaction between practice, research and policy. The dissemination activities will be designed appropriate for the new virtual generation and to promote the PROMETHEUS.EU platform and the career counselling apps. All members of the strategic partnership expressed commitment to contribute with their networks of partners and professional contacts in their countries and across Europe for the dissemination, multiplication and mainstreaming of the project's outputs and outcomes. All projects partners are strongly committed that the PROMETHEUS.EU and all Intellectual Outputs will be maintained and utilized for at least 5 years beyond the funded period.
