The project sets out to improve the quality of mentoring programmes in Europe that are intended to benefit older employees (age over-45) at risk of dropping out of their current employment. Target groups include job centres consultants, over-45 employees, trainers, learning facilitators and SMEs consultants. Project partners will investigate best practice teaching tools and also benchmarking methodologies to develop what is being called the OVER approach. Through this, they will develop a catalogue of competencies and skills to address the needs of trainers and the OVER approach will contain a referential, methodologies and tools to be employed to train over-45. A CD-ROM will be produced containing the final version of the OVER approach.
