SKILLS4JOBS

Career Guidance for Companies

What is Skills4jobs?

The aim of the Skills4jobs project is to redefine the role of career guidance - or counsellors - and understand the new competencies and tasks needed to face the challenges of society and employment. Career guidance must be able to connect, in a rational and propositional manner, supply and demand on the labour market and provide businesses with consultancy services to help them update their skills.

  • Redefine the profile of a counsellor so they can help bring together company managers, social workers, public authorities and training centres;

  • Help redefine regulations that update the counsellor’s functions and profile – both in the field of education and work – to identify the new skills needed;

  • Help redefine the primary and basic services of public employment services by redefining the new skills required by counsellors;

  • Help redirect the workforce towards sustainable and growing activities, sectors and companies, for example emerging sectors such as the green economy, health, ICT;

  • Help improve the socio-labour situation of more vulnerable groups (youngsters, women, minorities, older workers) by improving the quality of the counsellor’s intervention;

  • Promote the dissemination of information and experiences gained in orientation and professional capacity activities both on a European (Euroguidance, Elgpn, Cedefop, Eurofound, European Councils of Sectorial Capacities) and national level (Cnrop, Isfol, Istat, Coordination of Regions, Ministry of Labour and Social Policies).
