TARGET GROUP, AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED The activity of the project is addresed to a specific target: • Adult migrants with medium-high professional competencies that barely can partecipate to the Labour Market, or that enter there only with very low positions comparing with their knowledge . They are high-skilled people but considered low skilled by the local Labour Market. This is particulary true if we consider the situation of high-skilled-migrant women . Frequently, their tecnichal competencies cannot represent the basis for a Labour Market insertion with a professional profile that could grow with the time (as could happened for a man that, starting from a mechanical low profile, can reach a tecnichal profile in a few time). For that kind of women there are often only two options: insertion with low-skilled profile that remains the same for a long time or unemployment situation with the stable role of housewives. MAIN AIMS AND OBJECTIVES PURSUED: Starting from the needs descrived above the project will pursue the following objectives: With reference to Objectives and priorities of Strategic Partnerships: • fostering the provision and the assessment of key-competences, including basic skills and transversal skills particularly entrepreneurship, language knowledge and digital skills (with particular attention to linguistic and self-empowerment competencies); • reinforcing links between assessment, training and the world of work; • improving the capacities of the organisations active in the fields of assessments, education and training, notably in the areas of specific disadvantaged groups (high-skilled person that are considered low-skilled from the world of work; • fostering social inclusion and employability by developing quality assessment, training and support services for job insertion; With reference to field-specific priorities for adult education: • contributing to a reduction in the number of low-skilled adults (in this case people considered low-skilled), increasing the opportunity of validate non-formal and informal learning, giving new guidance and job insertion services. With reference to The 5 targets for the EU in 2020 (in particular Poverty / social exclusion that foreseens a strong reduction of people in this kind of condition) is possible to define these specifical objects for the project: • To develop 3 short modules for the assessment/empowerment/promotion of Soft Skills for high skilled migrants; • To facilitate a better job insertion of migrants that now works in low profiles if compared with their competencies (or that are often unemployed); • To increase the propensity to self-empowerment, supporting their capacity to spend their own competencies in the Labour Market finding opportunity to start up microenterprises. PROPOSAL OF ACTIVITIES AND OUTCOMES The project plan foreseens • 6 meetings (one in each partner’s country ) • 4 Intellectual outputs: • Another Intellectual Outputs aimed to assembly all the other, aimed to diffusion and Sustainability actions • 6 dissemination moments INTELLECTUAL OUTPUT 1 Definition of a Framework of Soft Skill required by Companies for High Skilled Migrants (with particular attention to people with competencies from 4th to 6th level of EQF): What kind of “soft skills” are particularly required (or their lack represents an hobstacle) for job insertion of migrants in medium-high professions? INTELLECTUAL OUTPUT 2 Implementation of a model for assessment of competencies (technical and/or “Soft Skills”) starting from a model created by Casa di Carità that tries to take care of all the “situations” of a migrant person (connected to work but also to his/her social situation, migration history, personal and cultural interests….) INTELLECTUAL OUTPUT 3 Implementation of a model of empowerment of all the Soft Skills that seems to be inadequate in a benchmarking with Intellectual Output 1 . In that model there will be also some tasks connected to self employment in medium-high professional fields. INTELLECTUAL OUTPUT 4 Implementation of a model of promotion and self promotion othat this kind of migrants can address to companies. In particular the model foreseens the use of main social networks and videocurricula (2 min each) as promotional instruments (but also as an instrument that underlines and shows expecially some of those Soft Skills)
