There are increasingly difficulties for young people with low or no formal qualification to get in employment. Nevertheless, those people still possess social and personal skills which are required at the labour market. For some jobs, such soft skills are even more important than formal qualifications.However, in many contexts assessing and certifying competencies is still a challenge. Such certificates, however, could contribute to match the skills of young people with the demands of the labour market as well as define (further) education and training needs.While some European countries have implemented tested and widely recognized systems of competence assessment, in other countries there is a lack of awareness and adequate instruments. Hence, the project aimed at developing training material entailing acknowledged approaches of competence assessment of different partner countries and transferring those to Greece. The training material has been conveyed in the shape of workshops and seminars to relevant multipliers of the VET system.
