Summary of the project
French specific approach used in social and occupational guidance for the unemployed is based on role plays meant to put specific jobs "on trial", fostering the advantages and drawbacks of a trade. It is a method , related to serious games, used to bridge the gap between the employers and the jobless through a collaborative work undertaken in common involving trade stakeholders, beneficiaries among whom the disadvantaged , people far from employment and training teams. Some adult beneficiaries play the part of the prosecution, others of the defense, stakeholders of the trade are called to the stand . It is a well appreciated playful way to discuss and discover a trade through fostering the interest of the jobs and a good way of unraveling prejudices with a focus on gender equality and equal opportunities for all in the labour market and develop beneficiaries' self esteem through a collaborative work undertaken with corporate representatives. JOT will be based on three steps : 1 focus on the European approaches through exchanges on ways partners address their environments' issues with regards to the occupational guidance and training of the unemployed in their contexts. 2 focus , analysis and adaptation of the French approach in each context taking into account new job sources 3 valorization through a European video festival of "Jobs on trial" in France as the final conference of the project. JOT will therefore provide several European regions where all partners support vulnerable adults with a specific method to bridge the gap between the jobless and trades, boosting beneficiaries' employability, taking into account the various labour market cultural approaches.
