Providing employment perspective to migrants and refugees through capacity building of guidance counsellors

Description

The current refugee flows and the need to integrate large populations of refugees and asylum seekers from conflict areas have posed several challenges at the EU level, the most urgent being humanitarian aid. Nevertheless, when the time comes for refugees to settle and integrate European cities, it becomes urgent to find a job. Migrants and refugees need the specialized support of career counselors and counselors to validate their skills and obtain relevant qualifications for the labor market.Guidance counselors need new methodologies and tools to work with migrants and refugees. The PERSPECTIVE project aimed to strengthen the capacity of guidance counselors to work with migrants and refugees and equip them with tools and methods to better meet the needs of migrants and refugees. The specific objectives of the project are:- develop a method for evaluating and validating key competences, combining the use of standardized test methods and qualitative assessment.- Build the capacity of guidance counselors on how to assess the core competencies of migrants, refugees and asylum seekers and how to help migrants and refugees demonstrate their skills.The partners are ADPI, France, provider of veterinary services to the unemployed and migrants; IDEC, Greek Center for Lifelong Learning, Consulting and Software Development Certified Greek VHS Cham, Learning Provider for Migrants from Southern Germany; HRV is a British company specializing in the orientation of disadvantaged people. Club for UNESCO Piraeus and Islands (EL), main actor of culture, it also provides humanitarian aid and support to migrants and disadvantaged people.PERSPECTIVE draws on current intercultural training models and curricula, as well as the results of previous projects, MIGRANTS +, which has developed software to identify training needs for core competencies, and Match2NQF, who developed a framework for assessing competencies against national qualifications. .The results of the project are:- an online assessment tool for basic skills- a training program for advisers- a manual for advisors • - The enrichment of an online platform and a community of practices for advisers (DISCUSS)- a structured assessment of the impact of training the self-assessment tool for assessing key competences will be accessible and can be used by an unlimited number of migrants and refugees, wherever they may be, as soon as one of the languages ​​in which they are spoken available (French, English, German, Arabic and Greek).The online platform and the community of practice for guidance counselors can also be used by or consulted and support guidance counselors in their work, across Europe of course. The guidance counselor course and handbook, though piloted at the European level, are aimed at guidance counselors, who provide their services mainly at a micro level (local and regional). For local authorities , the national authorities and Europe, the influx of so many migrants and refugees is a real challenge. That refugees and migrants acquire key skills that employers value and find employment does not simply mean that the state spends less. This translates into the fact that migrants and refugees feel better, integrate more easily into the society and values ​​of Europe.
