Description

Volunteering is an important way for people to develop themselves, by building new relationships and gaining a whole set of life skills that can improve their employability. It serves to gather important experience in unknown fields, to develop social, personal and organisational competences. However, the competences acquired in volunteering are rarely assessed and validated; hence, they are “lost” in the CV of the volunteers, even though employers state how important they are when it comes to selecting a new employee. Also, there is a lack of feasible and easy-to-use instruments for validating informal learning in volunteering. The course developed in the framework of the 2-year Job Bridge project (12/19-02/21, Erasmus+)  aims to enable representatives from volunteering organisations and adult education organisations welcoming volunteers to implement competence-oriented approaches with volunteers and validate competences acquired in the voluntary activities.
