Europe Employment Access is a Strategic Partnership Project initiated by Elmhouse Training, CISS Italia and Serviciul APEL Romania. The partnership emerged from a common problem of the three participating countries: high level of unemployment among low-skilled migrants, refugees and asylum seekers, especially marginalized women. These groups are either not eligible for governmental funded education opportunities or are difficult to reach and/or unwilling to commit to further education. To became employable, these people need support not only in obtaining a recognized qualification and work experience in UK/ Italy/ Romania, but often they firstly need help in developing good literacy, numeracy, digital and media skills. UK has a high number of migrants from the EU and non-EU countries. Italy, and especially Sicily, is confronted with a huge number of African migrants who are often lacking opportunities for development and integration. Surprisingly even Romania is confronted with a double problem: not only the Romanian low skilled emigrants to Western Europe, who are often marginalized and discriminated, but also the immigrants from Russia, Ukraine or third world countries who are trying to make a living in Romania. This country is very unprepared for integrating the immigrants, and the support available for learning Romanian language or accessing qualifications is very low. The project objectives are:1. To understand the barriers to attainment in adult education for low-skilled migrants, refugees and asylum seekers, especially marginalized women in the three cities.2. To develop and implement a new learning and teaching methodologies and pedagogical approaches for language teaching by combining classroom based teaching with out-of-classroom , virtual learning and open educational resources, promoting language skills, social mixing and European values. 3. To grow the number of learners from the targeted groups that enroll in the project’s adult education opportunities by increasing the civil dialogue and cooperation with relevant stakeholders (social partners, NGOs, governmental institutions, business partners) 4. To develop and promote an online European e-learning centre for teaching functional skills, digital skills and childcare, as well as European integration, cultural awareness, active citizenship, employment skills and media literacy available for both local people & those going to emigrate within the EU.5. To develop an on-line Learning Mentoring platform and a face-to-face Learning Mentoring programme where mentors and mentees will be able to work together, supporting the learning process and integration 6. To develop new methods and tools for in-service training for the teaching, administrative and managerial staff of the three partner organisations in order to improve their digital skills and skills for working with learners from the targeted backgrounds, by exchanging good practice between the partners, promoting peer-to-peer learning and better use of European resources for adult education.
