Project description:

 

The anticipated shortage of (qualified) home-care professionals seems to be a significant problem. In parallel with financial shortages, limited supplies of trained staff are seen as the main cause of unmet needs in many countries in Europe. A general shortage of home-care staff was discovered in several countries as well as a lack of (sufficiently qualified) home-care staff. Although these workers are considered critical to home care, there are growing concerns of a severe global shortage in the supply of home care workers. Trends indicate that in the absence of successful plans for expanding this workforce, the crisis will increase in the future. The main aim of the project is to empower the employability of low qualified and low skilled adults. This will be achieved through defining and assessing the required skills, competences, and developing tools. Through the use of methods, handbook, portal and curriculum this will provide those with low skills and qualifications the support needed to find and match a position with the right skills and competences in the home care sector.

 

Outputs: 

Three Intellectual Outputs will be produced during the project execution. These are; Skills/Competences Determination Handbook, Training Curriculum and Job Matching Portal. All intellectual outputs will be open-accessed. The job matching platform will remain operational for at least a further two years after the completion of the project. However, the clear objective is to continue to develop the platform and share amongst other countries.
