PROJECT TITLE: Crisis and Employment: Tools and methodologies For Your future
PROJECT ACRONYM: CERTIFY

Over the last decade open non-formal and informal learning pathways have been recognized at the centre of the European debate as a key component in achieving the objectives of the lifelong learning Program. However, in many cases people themselves may not be aware of the transversal and basic Skills they are developing through such learning and the important role these can play in their competitiveness in the labor market. The CErTiFY project seeks to help individuals wanting to work in the Cultural and Creative sectors considered to be a sector for investment by the European Commission by developing and testing a new methodology based on digital tools for people to Identify and recognize their transversal skill as identified in the 2020 strategy. Indeed, the characteristics of the Cultural and Creative sectors with less structured recruitment processes and key competencies often acquired over longer periods of time and outside the formal education system mean that recognizing such skills is essential both for candidates embarking on their early Careers and adult population seeking to work in this sector but not able to find an appropriate Position. The two digital tools which will be developed and tested as part of the project are a Smartphone application to create digital curricular stories and an e-learning platform to support and Guide job seekers in applying for jobs. Together these tools will help adults better align their competences with those in job descriptions so that they become more confident and better placed to promote their professionalism.
