Description of the project
PATHWAYS aims at giving a contribution for the improvement of the offer in the field of creation and access to skills improvement paths for low-skilled adults.
The main aims are:
– to provide adult education and career guidance professionals with the appropriate tools for recognising low-skilled adults basic skills, as a mean to improve their employability.
– to promote a mindset according to which learning is necessary not only when referring to employment, but also to personal development, with a focus on the capacity building of adult education and career professionals.
Through the creation of a Toolkit for adult education and other educational resources, adult educators and career guidance professionals will have the chance to use new tools to improve their competencies needed to create tailored learning paths for low-skilled adults, supporting them in detecting their professional and personal priorities, thus achieving a better future for themselves and their families.
