Support competence assessment - set future paths!

For new immigrants, the integration into the labour market is an essential prerequisite for gaining a foothold in their host country. However, their way into employment, education or training is often complicated as recognition of their competences is needed first. Especially the awareness of competences acquired through daily life activities such as work, family or leisure and of learning that has not been provided by an education or training institution is of particular significance for migrants.

The EU-funded project SCOUT (aSsessing Competences fOr fUTure) therefore addresses counsellors who work with new immigrants and who support them in their path to knowing their competences by providing different aids for the counselling process specifically targeted at new immigrants.

The SCOUT-toolkit supports the assessment of competences for new immigrants by providing tools that can be used by professionals in counselling processes - or that can also be used independently by the immigrants.

The ProfilPASS in Simple Language constitutes the core of the
SCOUT-toolkit. Having undergone special revisions for the target group of new immigrants, it provides a well-grounded, comprehensive approach to revealing and documenting hidden competences, interests and resources of new immigrants.

In addition to the toolkit, the project develops a curriculum, a manual and training for counsellors working in adult education.

The key project results can be accessed in the Download Area.
