Academia+ project addressed the Europe 2020 target to integrate 75% of people aged 20-64 into the labour market. In 2016 the average employment rate in the 28 EU countries has reached 71.1%. The project helped to raise the profile of international cooperation within guidance by providing concrete tools, support and resources which demonstrate the value of mobility and transnational learning for professionals, and so helped to increase the uptake of opportunities in different countries.
Academia+ supports the provision of better services and guidance on skills and qualifications by focusing on the development of training programmes that address urgent issues and current key challenges in the labour market and career counselling. The topics for the three counsellors’ study and Training Exchange Programmes (C-STEP) were chosen according to their importance for the current labour market:
- Counselling migrants and refugees
- Future jobs
