The aim of the project was to refine and review the innovative UK experience of the GFTU in positively supporting older, vulnerable workers as they approach retirement and/or unemployment. The UK experience offered vulnerable workers the opportunity to gain accreditation within the national qualification framework as an aspect of developing their competencies in a range of areas including modern job search techniques and confidence building. These workers were supported to engage in lifelong learning initiatives and were often non-traditional learners with a minimum level of educational or vocational qualifications.This learning addressed the basic needs of workers who had little or no experience of changing jobs, seeking work and/or applying for work.

It will embed training outcomes within vocational education and training accreditation systems within the respective partner countries.Workers will gain the capacity formobilty as a a result of engagement with the project and the delivery of the transfererd products secure employability.
