Mentoring Network for Facilitating Access to Upskilling Pathways

Description

Europe and the whole world suffer from unemployment problems and it is met mostly by low-skilled adults having a problem of integration into the labor market. Now, when our world is improving very fast, basic skills such as writing, reading, use of computer and calculations are the priority. However, a lot of adults have big gaps in these competencies and cannot move on, integrate into society and labor markets. In general, MENNET increased the participation of low-skilled adults and adults with fewer opportunities in lifelong learning and improved their skills which help to integrate into society better and easier. Also, the created results helped people to easily gain knowledge and fill in the gaps they had by evaluating their knowledge and learning things they do not know with mentor support which prevented dropouts from the courses. The main objectives of the project, which were completely achieved were these: 1. evaluate the level of low skilled adults and adults with fewer opportunities competencies for writing, reading, calculations, and use of computer; 2. encourage the continuing development of low-skilled adults and adults with fewer opportunities by using the innovative education models; by creating training programs with sub-modules 3. create a mentoring platform for competencies improvement The consortium of the project, in order to achieve these objectives, was selected very carefully and in full understatement about their capability to be involved:1.

Target groups: low-skilled adults and adults with fewer opportunities. It was people who are not employed and not at any educational level and those, who have just compulsory education and have a big gap. Totally 513 participants benefitted from the project. Impact on the participants: 277 people directly increased their competence in the foreign language and developed digital, numeracy, literacy, and calculation competencies by participating in O1, O2, and O3 activities. They have gained new knowledge on new learning approaches dealing with their personal and professional development. All partners worked with different groups of learners like disadvantaged groups, they have shared best practices and gained new knowledge and experience. The impact on participants has been measured by asking them to do pre-testing and do the post-testing after the training program.
