Information regarding competence profiling

An instrument for competence profiling tailored to the specific needs of migrants was developed and tested in the context of MIKA 1 in 2010/11. Migrants face special challenges when demonstrating their manifold skills and competences. Their professional experience and qualifications are often not recognized, and informal learning outcomes are completely overlooked. At the same time, the process of migration itself can be a valuable learning opportunity. The sensitization workshops were addressed to teaching staff in basic adult education for migrants. The competence profiling instrument and experiences with migrants were presented.
