Project overview
3
• In many EU countries, young people face problems when attempting to enter the job market
• Especially young people with migration background or with insufficient educational records are affected
• These people are in need for indivdualized support; one means to do so is building upon existing competencies
• Competence assessments can be a successful means into adequate support and training or directly in the labour market; however, it is connected to challenges:
Measurement of soft skills and intercultural competence is problematic – also because they include informally gained skills
Many approaches are language based
Wide range of competence assessment methods exists and there is almost no standardization or classification
