IO2 - Toolkit for Adult Education
The objective of this document is to develop a Toolkit for Adult Educators/Trainers, as well as career advisors, based on which they will be in the position to recognise the basic skills that adults in need for upskilling have acquired through informal or non-formal learning, identify their potential, propose learning pathways for upskilling and employability enhancement, to assist them in their integration in the labour market.
This toolkit includes:
-
What is Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and which are its purposes, added value, steps, methodology.
-
Who are the involved actors/ final beneficiaries.
-
Assessors and their role, techniques and tools to use and overall contribution to the future of an adult in need for upskilling in search of employment.
-
What the candidate should be made aware of, motivation techniques in continuing their learning journey, tools to use after the RPL process, possibilities and options.
-
Forms and Templates ready to be used not only in the participating countries, but also in other ones.
Through this toolkit, the Pathways Project partnership aims to create a set of documents aimed at providing the appropriate knowledge and tools to adult educators/trainers and career advisors on:
-
How they can actively help unemployed adults in need for upskilling to improve their possibilities of getting a job, through recognising their basic skills previously acquired through informal or non-formal learning,
-
Understanding their professional aspirations, but also their inclinations/ talents and proposing a set of lifelong learning alternatives for the improvement of their professional and personal potential.
