The project \u2018Job Yes\u2019 offers innovative solutions to foster integration of people with disadvantaged background and fewer opportunities into the labour market by 1) upgrading their low soft skills coherent with the employment-related key competences: sense of initiative and entrepreneurship, social and civic competences, digital competences and learning to learn; 2) improving the quality of training provided by adult education (AE) organisations active in employment-related training in order to attract low-skilled people and motivate them to learn. Thus, the project contributes to \u201cEurope 2020\u201d strategy to reach employment rate of 75% as well to achieve benchmark of 15% of learners\u2019 participation in lifelong learning as defined in European agenda for adult learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seeking to address these objectives two main intellectual outputs will be developed for two main project\u2019s target groups:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The methodology for developing IMILM model is based on participatory approach and use of online tools tailored for learners. The main results are: Self-need analysis tool, Set of employment-related OERs, Knowledge portfolio, Action plan, User guide for learners. Piloting of IMILM model will be done with 75 learners with fewer opportunities. The website part for learners provides them with open access to the learning tools of IMLIM model. The national groups in social network (Facebook) for learners will ensure the feedback from testing the IMILM model. As well they will contribute to the sustainable use of the IMLIM model beyond the project\u2019s lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The main impact on learners with disadvantaged background and fewer opportunities is upgrading their soft skills coherent with employment-related key competences with the longer-term benefit: fostering their integration into the nowadays labour market. Thus, the expected impact of the project after its lifetime is the reduction in number of low-skilled adults by increasing the level of their soft skills and increased employment rate of people with disadvantaged background and fewer opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The main impact on AE organisations active in employment-related training is strengthening their capacities to offer high quality ICT-based learning opportunities tailored for individual learners with disadvantaged background and fewer opportunities with the longer term benefit \u2013 increasing the level of learners\u2019 participation in employment-related training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The activities started with the Kick-off meeting hold in Valmiera, Latvia (11-12 December 2014).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
