The main objective of the project is to create a mechanism and tools to refine the skills and professional aptitudes of older people.
Main project’s results:
- Developed digital test to determine the professional aptitudes of the elderly in English and national languages;
- Developed VET programs for the rapid and targeted preparation of older people for a craft or job in the 8 sectors of the economy in English and national languages;
- Organized a preparatory round table discussion in each project country about tests and VET programs;
- Tested developed test in the project countries (20 in each country);
- Piloting of the developed programs in the project countries (20 in each country);
- Created project website.
The tools developed will help older people to find the job that suits them best (career guidance) and will create incentives to improve their knowledge or skills (active aging through learning) in a particular career in order to return to or remain in the labor market (employability) as long as possible.
