“Validation of skills and knowledge for
strengthening the positions of low-qualified
employees in the labour market”
1. Introduction
The project “Validation of skills and knowledge for strengthening the positions of low-qualified
employees in the labour market – ValidAid” started in October 2010. It has duration of two
years and is expected to end in September 2012.
This project aims at developing methods and tools for identifying and validating competences
in the workplace and opening gateways to education and training to make it easier for low
qualified individuals to develop their competences, and by that secure their position on the
labour market.
The project consortium includes seven organisations from six countries – Austria, Bulgaria,
Iceland, France, Lithuania and Portugal. The partnership includes international universities,
research centres, training and counselling organisations.
This research among the potential stakeholders is a part of activities of the project that aims to
find out possible partners and interested institution in the field of recognition of informal and
non-formal learning and validation. It will be useful to have their opinion when the Validation
kit is developed as the partners will be able to benefit from their experience in the validation
field.
