. A lot of European researches in last few years have shown that there is already lack of appropriate competencies at work due to globalization and rapidly changing market. Due to predictions the conditions are getting more and more critical. The owners of these work competencies are many times elder employees regardless of their education level and job position. In the future labour resources will age rapidly and the market will face a labour shortage. On the other hand there is also in this time a lot of older manpower (50+) available on the employment market, but they continue to be unemployed because of lack of proper education, training or skills. Companies in general know which competencies they need to remain competitive in the market and where inside the company employees with knowledge are to be found. Challenge arises when employees who possess knowledge start to leave the enterprise and the company loses them and their strategic knowledge and skills that are hard to replace and consequently threaten market position of the company. Career Plan 50+ offers possible solutions to the above mentioned issues and brings together both parties: employers and labour force. The project partners will develop and pilot an efficient communication and motivational tool to be used within the companies in newly designed training to acquire certain (soft) skills and competencies necessary for performing the job of Career Coach 50+.

. In the M-ECVET-S project, there will be a transfer of methods and results from the ESO-CERT project which was entitled “Using the method of standardized competence verification and certification in a credit point system for vocational training – an approach for the integration of the ECVET”. This transfer project shall advance and enhance the ECVET-based method for the assessment of professional competencies that has been developed in the EU-project ESO-CERT in order to make this method applicable on a European-wide basis. It is not relevant how the competencies that are assessed have been acquired. This means that learning outcomes from formal, non-formal and informal learning are merged. The enhanced method intends to assess modular training units that shall lead to complex action-oriented competencies. Since this kind of assessment also considers competencies that have been acquired at the work-place, it leads to a greater transparency concerning the acceptance of these competencies by the industry. This enhances the employees' company-wide mobility.
