"The need for this project is driven by the vast number of migrants who are travelling to Europe, fleeing war, oppression or poverty. Over 6.5 million migrants and refugees have crossed into six EU nations by land and sea at the end of 2018, according to the UN Flüchtlingshilfe e.V.. Besides the problematic refugee situation, unprivileged and disadvantaged social classes like NEETS (Not in education, employment or training), handicapped people or social marginal groups like homosexuals still tend to have hindered access to the employment market and to social acceptance/ promotion with large variations across the EU (EU ""Effective Outreach to NEETS"", 2018).The goal of this project is therefore to facilitate the entry into the labour market for foremost migrants and refugees, but also NEETS and other unprivileged groups who oftenly lack social recognition and economic participation.The main aim is to create an international online compendium and dictionary for migrants, refugees, NEETS and other unprivileged groups in (preparation to) education, employment or vocational training, which can be used via phone or computer. The compendium will contain primarily translations of fundamental (technical) terms and key words for different professions such as gardening, mechatronics, construction, carpentry, painting, administration or domestic economy into various languages, that are most commonly used by refugees and migrants in their own and in our countries. The online compendium/ vocation orientation tool will in addition to the translation service also cointain job descriptions and vocation insights (relevant to the specific country), the application conditions, the qualifications required as well as (if recommendable) information on the system of taxation, the specifications of the contract agreement, the rights and duties during an employment and advanced training possibilities after the apprenticeship. The idea is providing an online job orientation tool that is a mixture of both, translation and learning/ orientation. This way we enable disadvantaged groups (migrants, NEETS, handicapped) and receiving apprenticeship offering companies, job centres, authorities and volunteers to communicate with each other on a far more effective, job based level.Apprenticeship offering organizations, job centres, labour companies and education services (VET centers) will be better able to communicate with and give orientation to our target group (unprivileged groups) by: 1. Clarifying the most basic and fundamental job requirements and qualification and by that offering understanding and orientation. 2. Being able to describe the needed job information in different languages including the mother tongues of migrants 3. Establishing a common communication ground between trainees and trainers, pupils and tutors, learners and instructors and therefore offering solid and stable integration.The key results will be:1A web app and website usable on both Android and Apple phones to access the language and job tool. This will encorporate learning quizes, videos and as well as a unique collaboration which enables instantaneous and fully flexible translation between all 8 languages covered in the project and the 5+ choosen employment sectors. Users will be able to personalise their own vocabulary library and vocational area through making a favourites area for quick reference and practise, adding and subtracting words and phrases as needed as well as learning through a quiz/ test function. 2Case studies and videos to help with employment barriers and interviews with both benficiaries and employers. These will cover key interview questions and expectations from the employers and exoperiences and hints from workers. These will cover all the employment sectors choosen.3Employment information covering basic employment under contract, self employement rules and start up information. This will allow beneficiaries to see the employment options available. 4We expect 2000 users of the project by the end of the project funding, after this the partners will have agreed a dissemination plan to ensure sustainability. We will survey individual users to enable us to test an increase in confidence in employability. 5The project will build on the partnership between the language experts, the support and volunteer agencies (to ensure the material is suitable and useful), sector employers (to check the material is what they require for employees) and the ICT provider to enable the most user friendly and flexible tool to be tailored to the needs of all users. The tool will allow two way translation and learning of key words and phrases needed, and suggest and build phrases using the selected words . This will include categories for all the vocational jobs we are focused on. 6200 individuals as a minimum will test and validate the application and provide feedback which will be encoprated into the final version."
