Project title: Active job placement of disadvantaged women in the field of White Jobs (Residential and Assisted Living Care) – CAREMPLOY
Programme: Erasmus+ KA2
Summary:
The overall goal of CAREMPLOY is to advance on the labor integration of people (especially women) in White Jobs through the update and transfer of a specific Training Programme tailored to the needs of the sector and through the promotion of entrepreneurship skills, following Social Economy schemes. Thus, it strives to contribute to:
– Increase the labor integration of a disadvantaged group, unemployed people (especially women) with low academic qualifications.
– Promote the self-employment through collective entrepreneurship activities following Social Economy schemes.
CAREMPLOY specifically aims at increasing the Vocational Training offer of high quality, aimed at the qualification of people (especially women) with low education levels on qualifications related to the Residential and Assisted Living (RALC) sector (EQF level 2), following the NQFs of 4 transferring countries, and tailored to the shortcomings and priorities of the current Vocational Training offer on such countries. To that end, CAREMPLOY’s strategy relies on the transfer of the PREPÁRATE Training Programme, succesfully implemented in Navarra, Spain, with the following specific objectives:
– To analyze and correlate the RALC qualifications on NQFs and VET systems of 5 EU countries.
– To identify the Training Needs of Residential and Assisted Living Care Professionals.
– To transfer and adapt the PREPÁRATE Training Programme to the priority skills identified on the Needs Assessment Report and to the transferring regions’ NQFs demands and context specificities.
– To transfer and test the resulting Training Course to a B-learning model.
– To get official recognition at 4 transferring countries of CAREMPLOY Training by the regional/national certification bodies.
