Overview on<br />
Course 1: Introduction to informal competences and skills<br />
Course 2: Validation of informal competences and informal/non-formal learning<br />
These courses are aimed at counsellors who are faced with clients who want to leave<br />
their home country and work abroad.<br />
Needless to say that these counsellors will have to engage in a meaningful<br />
relationship with their clients and in doing so, they will able to rely on the information<br />
and advice available to them in the different modules the various partners of the<br />
“<strong>Brain</strong> Gain - <strong>Brain</strong> Gain” project will have provided.<br />
There is however one very important issue the other modules focusing for example<br />
on decision making processes or counselling techniques have not touched and that<br />
is the domain of the competences those clients who express the intention to live and<br />
work in another country must possess if they are to stand a chance of making it<br />
abroad. Fact is that one if not the most important reason why people do not make it<br />
in the country they have travelled to looking for employment is that they did not, when<br />
leaving, have any or sufficient information on what to expect when arriving at their<br />
destination. Furthermore they also had little or no idea of what competences were in<br />
demand and whether their own competences would be officially recognized in the<br />
first place and, if that were to be the case, whether they would be sought after at all.<br />
The courses illustrate the information regarding “other” competences counsellors<br />
must give clients wanting to try their luck abroad.<br />
Within the scope of the module “other” of other competences refers to:<br />
• Informal and non-formal learning<br />
• Social (or extra) skills and competences<br />
� Intercultural skills<br />
� Organisational skills (e.g. team work)<br />
� Certificates (e.g. certificate in first aid)<br />
Since vocational counselling is not well developed in Turkey, this module is designed<br />
as an explanatory and informative module.<br />
