The European Prisoner Entrepreneurship Program project aimed at answering a global challenge: the reintegration of prisoners. This project consisted in the design, development, and implementation of a high-quality training courses on entrepreneurship accessible on an IT platform. Its content has been adapted to the needs and level of the targets: prisoners and ex-offenders. It has been also created training materials for the NGO and organisations working with prisoners and ex-offenders. They benefitted from a specific section on the platform and a user guide to help them to train, to support and to teach the end users the correct behavior to have and how to interact with people outside of prison. The project had 2 main target groups: - Prisoners/ex-offenders - Trainers working with prisoners The project answered to 3 main needs on both national and European level: - The need to train and provide high quality training for the prisoners in accordance with the need to facilitate their reintegration in the society through labour market integration, and through the development of their self-esteem, - The need to train the people who work with prisoners on entrepreneurship as it is enhancing their chances of reintegration through the acquirement of these competencies, - The need to allow every European prisoner to have access to a suitable training. The EPEP intended to have several outcomes and impacts on European countries, the most relevant are: - The definition of the specific needs of the prison population in term of methodology and content regarding a entrepreneurship training course; - The launch of the European Prisoners Entrepreneurship Program after its test and optimisation; - The creation of a specific toolkit for trainers on how to support prisoners in their entrepreneurial project and how to interact with them, including specific sections on the platform (logbook, legal advices) and a user guide; - The training of 24 prisoners and 6 trainers in France, Belgium and Italy; - The social and professional reintegration of prisoners with new skills and competences and thus the decrease of recidivism. To ensure the dissemination of the projects outcomes and results, 3 Multiplier events has been organised and all partners used their communication material to talk about the EPEP. This platform and toolkit became a reference in all European country. The digital material helped to the easy share of the content and the sustainability of the outputs. The good management tools, and the regular meetings (transnational meetings and web conferences), ensured the good course of the project as well as the involvement and motivation of all the partners.

The LeGaQual2Do project is the result of one decade long reflection about on-the-job training for low-skilled people, initiated with the LeGaQual method. This reflection has evolved in the past years and is even more relevant in today’s context characterized by high unemployment rate and evolving employers’ demands in terms of professional skills and geographical mobility.The recognition of learners’ professional skills and learning outcomes is necessary so that employers’ job offers and learners’ demands can be met both on the French and European labour market.This recognition should bring an answer to the difficult access of precarious individuals or with specific needs first to vocational training and then to the classical labour market. Hence the main objective of the project, which is the definition and the implementation of a protocol in on-the-job training and evaluation engineering in three activity sectors: cleaning, green spaces, sales and distribution. The aim is to promote access to certification and / or common law qualification for people searching professional integration or with disabilities, which must necessarily be accompanied by evolution of postures of different players involved in on-the-job training protocol: employee - learner, supervisor - trainer, trainer - evaluator. In this purpose, the partnership considered development of tools promoting integration of training models in professional situations, and aiming at certifications of common law within project partner countries. A tool allowing capitalization of skills acquired in the workplace and resulting European skills passports appear as guarantee of professional recognition at European level.The achievement of the project’s objectives and expected results was possible thanks to the composition of the partnership, led by the Régie des Ecrivains, which consisted in an articulation of actions between training centers, experts in pedagogy and certification, learning companies, social enterprises and professionals in the fields of cleaning, green spaces and sale and distribution.The partner organizations come from 5 European countries: France - Régie des Ecrivains, Solivers and INHNI, Belgium - AIGS and IPEPS, Italy - StudioCentroVeneto and Comune di Vicenza, Latvia - SIAMC Austrumvidzeme, United Kingdom - WSX Enterprise. They have implemented cooperation with a training organization, a certification body or a learning company in order to optimize learners’ training paths and skills recognition. The main activities implemented in the framework of the project are the development of the LeGaQual2Do training and assessment method and tools dedicated to learners and trainers supervisors. The training tools (job profile, professional occupational guidelines, training programme, pedagogical support, interactive teaching tools) and evaluation tools (evaluation grids, Mobipass - digital skills portfolio) have been experimented in the framework of training activities for trainers (37 people in total) and learners (120 beneficiaries), of which 16 participated in European mobilities organized in 5 partner countries. All the tools were adapted and adjusted at the end of the experimental phase, as part of evaluation activities conducted with learners, trainers supervisors, managers of partner organizations and certifiers. The experimental and evaluation reports reflect the progress and results of training and evaluation activities. The tools developed and the activities implemented throughout the project were based on the ECVET method, and this in order to ensure better recognition of professional skills and to promote learners' mobility.In order to achieve the widest possible dissemination of project results and achievements, in each country the partner organization(s) organized an event for the dissemination of one or more intellectual outputs. Each dissemination event aimed at gathering together professionals, trainers supervisors and certifiers, as well as people with a low level of qualification who wish to improve their professional and geographical mobility.The main impact of the project is the recognition of beneficiaries’ professional skills thanks to Mobipass, the improvement of their professional and geographical mobility and the implementation of new methods of on-the-job training, evaluation and certification.
