01/11/2021 - 30/11/2023
Project Aim
This project’s general goal is to explore and develop possible mean of recognizing and validating competences acquired in non-formal and informal contexts, particularly for left-behind adult learners and other disadvantaged target groups, using a Validation Portfolio as the primary tool.
Specific objectives:
To encourage the socioeconomic growth and inclusion of disadvantaged people with gaps in their formal education credentials by recognizing and validating their non-formal skills and abilities;
In terms of statistical data, public policies, and best practices, to study, analyze, examine, and make more accessible European and national scenarios of competence validation and adult education.
Through a training curriculum focused on the European Key Skills for Lifelong Learning and a Validation Portfolio, improve target groups' access to the acknowledgment of competences acquired in non-formal and informal contexts;
To give open access to digital learning content by developing an interactive digital platform that includes all of the project's learning materials and processes as interactive activities, as well as supplementary content on the topics of education innovation and competency.
Contribute to the improvement and updating of policies through a set of recommendation guidelines aimed at fostering strategic actions and joint efforts by public authorities, training organizations, social actors, and certification institutions in order to expand opportunities to validate non-formal competences and raise awareness about the importance of different types of certification.
BACKGROUND
Most countries still need to develop systems that allow people to recognize, document, assess, and certify all types of learning and use it to further their careers and further their education and training. The 2019 OECD booklet ‘Getting Skills Right: Engaging Low-Skilled Adults in Learning’ depicts evidence that many adults with low skills are anything but ‘low skilled’: they may have low literacy and numeracy levels, but they may also possess a range of other valuable skills; similarly, some adults may have low qualification levels, but they may have gained skills through years of work-experience that are equivalent to those associated with formal qualifications. Individuals, employers, and the economy all gain from recognizing these talents through validation and certification. It recognizes an individual’s (informal) learning effort, which can boost motivation and serve as a stepping stone to more formal learning. Employers profit from skill recognition because they may better match employees’ skill sets with jobs, resulting in improved production. Individual and employer gains from skill validation and certification boost labor market functioning [Kis and Windisch, 2018]. For these good impacts to occur, employers and society as a whole must esteem certifications received through skill recognition and regard them as equivalent to credentials obtained through formal learning.
The project aims to meet the requirements of educators and individuals – particularly those from vulnerable groups – who are concerned about the lack of acknowledgment of non-formal and informal learning.
