The handbook presents fundamental conditions for the development and expansion of regional second-chance qualification provision, from the local assessment of demands, the development and expansion of customised second-chance qualification options to the sustainable rooting of the provision in the local area. The focus is on the exchange and the development of networks between the stakeholders involved. The network partners conclude binding agreements about their respective responsibilities and agree common, transparent quality criteria. Thereby, they ensure that the provision is sensitive to gender and culture and they take into consideration the individual needs of companies as well as of the semi-skilled and unskilled workers. The practical examples show how the individual steps may be realised. Via a password-protected web site the reader may also access additional materials to complement the handbook.weiterlesen
