Empowerment centre EVC ascii version

Knowledge of the APL system will be a decisive factor for opportunities of returners on the labour market. For refugees, a traditional path to the labour market is obstructed by different qualification structures and language problems. The use of APL will improve the position of this group dramatically. The Knowledge centre APL is unable to provide the appropriate expertise. The mission of the Knowledge centre APL is to make APL accessible for professional groups on meso-level through trade organisations and social partners. The unemployed, returners, refugees and partially disabled are therefore unable to profit from the possibilities of APL. This partnership will develop methods and techniques of APL for the target groups and provide accessibility on a regional level.

Objective

Co-operation with representatives of the target groups, those responsible for (re)integration and the Empowerment centre EVC with the goal to make APL available for the specific target groups by expanding the Knowledge centre EVC with a transnational Knowledge centre for non-traditional groups, the Empowerment centre EVC (EC-EVC). The EC-EVC will: - provide accessibility, tuning, validation and standardisation of the formal recognition of the informally learned knowledge; - develop expertise and knowledge; - realise the exchange of knowledge and expertise with regard to EVC for the target groups; - monitor the international compatibility; - promote the possibilities of APL.

Participation

Changing attitudes and behavior of key actors

Decisions regarding the realisation of the project will be taken twice per year during the "meeting of partners", or as often as one of the partners wishes. All participating parties will be represented in this meeting, a general board. The organisations that operate nationally and have missions applicable for all target groups form the steering group of the project, an executive board. The feedback group consists of all parties that operate on behalf of (one of the) target groups and provides asked and unasked -for advice to the steering group and the project manager, and has the right of approval in case of any changes. Realisation of activities takes place by and under the responsibility of working groups that consist of employees of the partner organisations and, if necessary, third parties.

Empowerment centre EVC

Rationale

Kennis over het systeem EVC zal van doorslaggevende betekenis zijn voor de mogelijkheden op de arbeidsmarkt van (her)intreders. Bij vluchtelingen belemmeren de afwijkende kwalificatiestructuren en de taal de traditionele toeleiding naar de arbeidsmarkt. De inzet van EVC zal de positie van deze groep drastisch verbeteren. Het Kenniscentrum EVC kan de benodigde expertise niet bieden. Het Kenniscentrum EVC richt zich op de ontsluiting van EVC voor beroepsgroepen op meso-niveau via de brancheorganisaties ende sociale partners. De werklozen, herintreders, vluchtelingen en gedeeltelijk arbeidsongeschikten kunnen hierdoor niet profiteren vande mogelijkheden die EVC hen biedt. Dit OP zal methoden en technieken van EVC voor de doelgroep (laten) ontwikkelen en zorgdragen voor ontsluiting op regionaal niveau.

Objective

Samenwerking met vertegenwoordiging van de doelgroepen, toeleiders voor (re)integratie en het Empowerment centre EVC om het systeem van EVC breed beschikbaar te maken voor de betreffende doelgroepen. Doel is het uitbreiden van het Kenniscentrum EVC met een Transnationaal Kenniscentrum voor niet-traditionele wervingsgroepen, het Empowerment centre EVC (EC-EVC). Het EC-EVC moet: - zorgen voor toegang, afstemming, validatie en standaardisatie van de formele erkenning van het informeel geleerde; - expertise en kennis ontwikkelen; - uitwisseling van kennis en expertise m.b.t. EVC voor de doelgroepen realiseren; - de internationale compatibiliteit bewaken; - de mogelijkheden van EVC promoten.
