"<< Background >>When low-skilled adults - long-term jobseekers - start a pathway to integration, they need a personalised framework, allowing them to acquire skills, personalised guidance and defuse the psychosocial and economic obstacles they encounter (mobility, debt, addiction, precariousness, etc.). The work-based training approach corresponds to this multidimensional challenge, in particular because it is characterised by a ""socialisation of learning"": peer education, continuous sharing and a relationship of trust with supervisors, empowerment, social legitimisation through the performance of a professional activity, etc. In addition, the work-based pedagogy establishes a framework facilitating the acquisition of technical competences, while allowing basic and transversal competences and soft skills to be worked on in a professional situation. The training aspect of these schemes is therefore a key element of their success, and this pathway must be ""pedagogised"".Within integration companies, they get their feet back on the ground by benefiting from adapted, individual support within a group. On the ground, those who supervise them - the integration assistants - multiply experiences and resources at their level. Their profile varies, as do the roles and missions they take on. It therefore seems relevant to work on clarifying their professional posture and the resources they mobilise to achieve the social and professional emancipation they aim for.<< Objectives >>Low-skilled adults are less likely to find employment or participate in learning, although these are key elements for their empowerment. It is crucial that they have access to adequate solutions to improve their skills, such as the schemes for (re)integration through economic activity.In this context, the ACTION project aims to enrich and formalise the methods of support in work-based training courses for low-skilled and vulnerable adults, in order to improve their social and professional inclusion, thanks to an increase in skills allowing access to classic, sustainable and quality employment and/or to qualifying training. In this way, we intend to develop the training-through-work method, a form of learning and integration adapted to the target groups because it allows them to be more motivated and hooked on to the system (offering practical and concrete action), and allows them to work on the development, or even the recognition and validation, of their skills. We want to formalise the support given to workers in integration, to better define and manage their pathway and lead to more positive outcomes. ACTION thus has the operational objective of clarifying the roles and missions of the inclusion advisers, and then equipping them to implement these missions.<< Implementation >>ACTION is based on the meeting of a consortium of experts in the field, who pool their expertise and experiences, their strong local and practical achorage to emulate pedagogical and methodological innovation involving front-line actors. The project is therefore intended to be concrete and pragmatic, by directly involving its target group: integration counselors. The project will be anchored in the reality of the field, with constant feedback to develop results and achieve the targeted objectives.Through the results produced, ACTION follows a global logic, responding to the issues raised by the project: to clarify the posture and function of the Integration Counselor, and to provide them with concrete tools to carry out their functions.Once the results have been developed, they will be returned to the field in two ways. Firstly, via testing phases with educational experts in the targeted sectors, to refine them and ensure their relevance and consistency. Secondly, via a dissemination phase, targeting professionals and experts in the sector, to present them the results and help them appropriate them in order to have a lasting impact on their practices.<< Results >>The ACTION project aims to help the ""integration counselors"" by : - Formalising the procedures for supervising the integration process of the target group- Promoting learning through work - ""Pedagogising"" their approach, in particular by equipping them for the positioning, monitoring and (self-) assessment of the skills acquired by the workers in integration - Providing recommendations for vocational guidance and sustainable integration of the target group into the labour market in order to foster their transition and sustainable inclusionThrough its implementation, the project follows a global logic, responding to the issues raised by the project: output 1 allows to clarify the role of the ""Integration Accompanist"", i.e. the persons in charge of the accompaniment of the target public in the integration structures. This result will clarify the profile, the objectives and the missions of the function of the integration counselor. Once this function has been clarified, the following outputs will constitute tools for the realisation of the missions of the integration coach: - Output 2 will establish the ""ideal integration pathway"", setting out the key stages of this pathway for the target group. It will serve as a guide for the Accompanist, to better organise his missions, giving him advice and recommendations to guide his daily work. - Output 3 will be a practical tool to be used for the follow-up of the target group, which is the main task of the FDW.- Output 4 will bring together ideas, advice and good practices to achieve professional guidance and integration into sustainable employment for the target group, which is the final objective of the host structures, and therefore of the counselorIn the long run, thanks to the implementation of its results, ACTION aims to improve the support of people in integration, and to develop the methodology of training through work as an innovative and integrated response to the needs of these people and to contemporary social and economic issues. These audiences will then experience greater professional mobility, thanks to their increased skills, and smoother paths towards sustainable socio-professional integration in quality jobs."
