The Learning Mentor needs to focus especially on three key elements: 1.guidance (and life) as a path with many alternatives, 2. support for individuals in making the paths and the solutions visible, 3. offering of tools to answer these questions/challenges. Therefore guidance in education should be formally recognised and improved by fixing state-of-the-art-standards for methodologies, the use of ICT to support the counselling process. This is even more important considering social changes like inconstant occupational biographies, demographic changes and the increase of marginalised groups. Therefore the project had developed a recognised qualification for learning mentors within the education and training systems of 5 EU-countries. The project intented to professionalize as well as to underline the necessity of a workplace based “promoter” for lifelong learning who cares about possibilities in regard to individual career development as well as about continuously training on the shop floor/in the production lines. The qualification of a learning mentor had to assure the assessment, recognition and classification of qualifications and skills to increase educational, employment and mobility chances according to the EU “standard” EQF. Guidelines, structured in fields of competences and learning outputs served as independent learning units/modules for learning mentors. The modules have been piloted with 80 employee and staff representatives. They have been adapted to the structures and legal conditions in 5 countries and adapted to EQF and EC-VET to assure quality and support the transferability of the products.
