The purpose of this project is to develop a job training for youth workers in the German-speaking Community (DG). Starting point of the project is a noticeable shortage of qualified youth workers in the DG, which the Government wants to tackle within its Regional Development Concept “Living East Belgium - 2025". The development of a professional training has to meet certain criteria in order to ensure that the certificate issued to the participants upon successful completion of the training meets the standards of the National Qualifications Framework. This will ensure the recognition of the certificate outside the youth sector of the DG (target qualification level is level five), particularly on European level.The result of the project is a module manual, oriented towards jointly elaborated learning outcomes. A specific competence profile of youth workers in the DG will be drawn up as a starting point, oriented according to the Austrian competence framework. This implies that the project will be closely supervised by experts with international experience in drawing up competence profiles of youth workers as well as in validation, recognition and organization of youth worker trainings.Furthermore, the aufZAQ Office will formulate learning outcomes in-line with the Austrian competence framework of child-care and youth work, which will be either used as such or adjusted if required for youth worker trainings in the DG.As a first step, this project targets experts, training organizations and advisors who will elaborate on the learning outcomes following consultation with the youth sector. In a second step, the entire youth and education sector will be informed through awareness-raising measures.
