Leonardo da Vinci Programme CIVIL SERVICE APPRENTISHIP     (pp 154007)

The "CIVIL SERVICE APPRENTISHIP" project re-enters in the communitarian Program of action in matter of professional training Leonardo da Vinci.

The organizations partners are: CECE for the partners Spanish, EPA 21st CENTURY for Bulgaria, EVC for Holland, the Cenasca Cisl, Cesfor and Erifo for Italy.

The Cenasca Cisl will be the coordinator of the entire project in quality of promoter.
"CIVIL SERVICE APPRENTISHIP" is a pilot project and is born to make skills more valuable, subjected to monitoring and able to be tested. The skills involved are those learnt in a not formal way, from volunteer civil service practices by young people. This need represents a first aim that cannot be avoided to let these skills useful to get a job.
Moreover this need supplies an awareness process, by young people, to understand better what exactly they got as expertise during the civil service period.

The project Analysis of main experiences of not formal learning realized in Europe and Eastern Europe concerning civil service, to let strength and weak points be visible to all deciders and operators of training of not formal learning, considering the future employability for beneficiaries.
The results will therefore be discussed trough a monitoring and evaluation system.

The proposal has the task to lessen the gender discrimination whenever skills and competencies are required in workplaces.

The results will be interpreted, therefore, with a conceptual model called S.W.O.T. analysis that will display a comparative analysis of competencies and figures, and an evaluation of the impact in relation to the national context and background of members’ countries.

The general aims of the project may be summed up from this
following points:

- valorization of European experiences ad cases of volunteer civil service that let people obtain skills from not formal learning, through comparative methods of best practices and tools;
- design of effective training approaches able to transform skills from not formal activity into a chance to raise employability with the same workings of “apprendistato” (something close to stage), a typical Italian institution;
- development of tools and methods to monitor and evaluation to promote the diffusion of a clear and measurable not formal learning, even in a context of civil service or similar experiences;
- definition of guide lines to design paths learning of not formal learning, whose competencies would appear able to be monitored and measured;
- dissemination of results in a European level, with specific diffusion in the Countries where partners come from.
- the experimentation of the beginning path and tools of not formal learning experiences will be focused mostly in these contexts of civil services that concern with job creation sector, with cultural promotion and citizen’ sake services

From an executive point of view, the project in three macro-actions, one testing and trasversal action, and the last one action is a diffusion one of products to promote the adoption of guide lines and the developed paths by decision takers and executives of training and associated organizations for civil service. The dissemination will be carried on by all partners. Macro-actions’aims are strictly connected

The first action is eded to elaborate of a map of the competencies that can come from not formal learning during volunteer civil service jobs.

The second action aims to elaborate of a beginning path of not formal learning.

The third action is ended to the definition of monitoring and evaluation system of not formal learning.

The fourth action is a diffusion one of products to promote the adoption of the final documentation.

Four transanational meeting are set to share executive project, to make a follow-up of forgoing action and to plan and design the followin ones.
