FAFO
Fast Forward Skilled Workers 4.0
The project "Fast Forward Skilled Workers 4.0" aims to contribute to solving the European shortage of skilled workers. To this end, the successful model of the Austrian Young Workers' Movement (ÖJAB) for the (pragmatic) vocational skills assessment and development of migrant women is being prepared for the needs of regional SMEs in multimedia form and discussed and reflected upon in a community of practice with interested European adult educators and education policy-makers.
Project objectives
The objectives of the FAFO project are as follows:
- Make visible the status quo and the EU-wide differences in the way competences are assessed and developed (in continuation of the Berlin Declaration on the Recognition of Competences of 2019 and the European Guidelines for the Validation of Non-formal and Informal Learning of 2016).
- The status 2023 of the various competence frameworks and "future skills" debates and put them in relation to practised competence assessment procedures.
- ÖJAB approach in a multimedia and digitally appealing way and thus bring it to the attention of a wider audience .
- Host an attractive 1-month online happening in autumn 2023 in the Erasmus+ Space on EPALE to bring together interested people and discuss the approaches.
- Long-term goal: Faster integration of migrants and women with atypical (employment) biographies into the labour market.
PROJECT TARGET GROUPS
The project is aimed at:
- Adult educators from all EU countries, to whom an alternative, creative good practice model is presented as an expert, in order to jointly search for education policy shortcuts on how to reintegrate people more quickly into the (struggling) labour market.
- Education policy-makers who are looking for creative, new approaches to meet the needs of the labour market more quickly.
