Project Proposal – New skills and competences to address skills gaps and mismatch within the sectors working with Gang and Youth Crime across Europe
Date du début: 1 oct. 2013,

Gangs are prevalent in most large cities across the EU for it to be commonplace for public sector professionals to interact and work with gangs /gang members. For professionals like youth workers, teachers, police and probation officers it is a dimension of their job: for others like front line staff in local Government, social security and the health service, gangs and their members can impinge, often negatively, on the way they deliver service to the public. For others its a new job profile. Then there is the question of how local businesses and local communities respond to the threats of a gang culture. Currently there is no vocational / professional training programme in existence to provide the knowledge, skills and competences required for any workers in the private, public or NGO sectors to deal with gangs and resulting criminality. This skills / qualification mis-match where the level of education matches job requirements, but the type of education (e.g. field of study) is inappropriate or in this instance actually missing for the current job requirements is being addressed. EUGANGS brings together professionals from 5 countries to research, develop and accredit at national level in each country a new vocational / professional qualification which meets the current gap/omission in skills to benefit our current and future professionals working with or likely to work in a gang culture or environment. Research will result in a new job profile. To encourage further transfer partners will explore insertion of the training programmes onto ECVET. EUGANGS underpins this programme by developing a new training trainers programme, supported with a trainer’s guide and resources to enable those with experience of working in this field to be formally accredited and become trainers either in formal, non formal or informal VET provision. Learning will be offered flexibly on a modular approach and also delivered and supported with e learning.
