The five main objectives in the VOLCANO project were: 1)To demonstrate that people with language levels of A2 to B1 can be sustainability employed in this sector.2)To address the growing skills gap across Europe in lower levels of social/healthcare, due to population decline and movements, increased professionalisation and traditional low status and low pay. 3) To take advantage of greater in-work-learning opportunities in the sector which has opened up a new route into employment for migrants. 4)To provide a new workforce for the sector now essential due to the new demand for staff through the Working Time Directive and Directive on Professional Qualifications.5)To provide a diverse labour force which more closely resembles the diverse nature of the elderly community in Europe accessing social and healthcare.
