MiCare (Erasmus+)

Co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union

The aim of the Erasmus+ MiCare project is to support migrant women’ professional and social integration as carers for the elderly. To do so, a “professional profile” tool will be developed and will help to evaluate already acquired knowledge and skills of migrant workers in the field of elderly care (e.g. based on informal care experience). A specific training will be proposed afterwards to acquire the missing competences. This training offer is intended to support migrant women in their day-to-day care activities and at the same time to open up social and professional future perspectives. WIAB will be responsible for developing the MiCare Competency Framework and for Quality Management.

NECTAR (Sector Skills Alliance)

Co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union

The project NECTAR (aN Eu-Curriculum for chef gasTro-engineering in primaRy food caRe) addresses the growing demand of health care institutions, nursing homes, private service providers and end consumers for chefs and cooks, who are skilled to meet individual nutritional needs, e. g. of sick and elderly people. To this end, NECTAR will deliver an EU Occupational Profile for Chef Gastro Engineering and an EU Curriculum for the certification of this profile. Chef Gastro-engineering (CGE) will be an innovative and pivotal figure in Primary Food Care (PFC), skilled on food management and kitchens coordination. Cooks and chefs with this qualification will address the special needs of end users, such as taste deteriorations/alterations or problems with swallowing and chewing. They will be able to create personalized recipes and cooking processes. Furthermore, they are skilled in using various ICT tools for older adult’s home monitoring and personalization of care.

The CGE Curriculum will be an European, innovative, learning outcome-oriented and modular one. Thanks to its flexibility and modularity, the Curriculum could be instantiated in national Curricula, considering local and contextual constraints as well as different qualification levels (EQF-Level 4-5). The Curriculum will be tested through five pilot courses delivered in Belgium, Portugal, Austria, and Italy.

WIAB will be responsible for quality management and assurance as well as parts of the evaluation and will contribute its experience and know-how to support the successful development and implementation of the project results.

How to Deal with Skill Shortages? Study on Good Practice Examples from Selected European Countries

Skill shortages and strategies how to deal with this topic are being discussed in several European countries for quite some time. Especially Germany is developing various policies and using subsidies to close the skill gap, and also Switzerland is implementing several initiatives. Sweden and the UK are as well rather active in the field of forecasting and prognosis and are annually releasing shortage occupations lists – similar to the “Mangelberufsliste” in Austria – that should help attract talent from abroad.

Within this study commissioned by the Austrian Public Employment Service (AMS Österreich) the situation in different European countries (CH, GE, SE, UK) and strategies how to meet skill shortages are being presented and compared. Good practice examples how to deal with skill gaps – on regional, national and international (e.g. OECD, Cedefop or ILO) level – are also being analysed. Besides stakeholders, policies, methods and tools dealing with skill shortages and the presentation of results, e.g. online information platforms, will be examined as well. Based on the results of the country reports prospects and recommendations for Austria are derived.
