Why it matters
Adults with limited competences represent a growing challenge for the labour market and for inclusive societies: targeted interventions can improve employability, motivation, and social integration while reducing inequalities. At the same time, trainers and education providers gain concrete tools to better respond to real and specific needs. ETAD fits perfectly within European policies promoting upskilling and lifelong learning pathways.
If you are interested in improving the competences of low-skilled adults and strengthening the capacity of those who train them, the ETAD project offers an innovative and practical approach. Discover our tools and methodologies, designed to support trainers and institutions in implementing effective and inclusive training paths.
TARGET GROUP
The project’s target groups are:
Trainers and educational staff working with low-skilled adults
Institutions and adult education centres interested in innovative and inclusive methodologies
IMPACT
The impact of ETAD is visible at multiple levels: trainers acquire new competences and methodologies validated in real contexts, improving the quality of learning for low-skilled adults. Training institutions strengthen their organisational and didactic innovation capacities, while the adults involved receive more effective, inclusive training targeted at developing the key competences required by the labour market.
RESOURCES AND TOOLS
- Innovative methodologies for training low-skilled adults.
- Practical tools for trainers and institutions to improve learning and inclusion.
- Teaching materials and guidelines tested and validated in real contexts.
- Good practices and strategies shared among European partners to foster replicability.
PROJECT RESULTS
