Today we would like to inform you about REC (Professional skills' development for recognition and validation of informal and non-formal competences learning of migrants and refugees & labour market inclusion), a project that intends to develop an exchange of good practice and the development of a transnational EU coherent professional specialization for professional counselors, educators, cultural mediators and trainers working with migrants and refugees and other disadvantaged groups.
The main goal of the project is to provide – through the exchange and cooperation- a set of competences for VET operators in the recognition and validation of informal and non-formal competences and learning, which in the case of migrant-refugees can help include them faster and better in further VET or in the labour market.
The REC Consortium is composed of 10 institutions from 5 different countries (Italy, France, Belgium, Germany and Spain). The institutions and agencies involved include: Folias Cooperativa Sociale, Programma integra, Eurotraining srl, CIEP HC, FCI - Fédération des Centres d'Insertion Lille, bildungsmarkt-sachsen.de, EVTA - European Vocational Training Association, Afpa Ile de France, Tandem Plus.
We will keep you informed about the progress of this project shortly.
