  1. Sirje Pree Kai Rannastu GetSetin Estonia

  2. Who is who? • KAK as a regional training centre, there are many adults among the students (10% + courses • Kai Rannastu – teacher of social work, social pedagogue • Sirje Pree – teacher of psychology, psychologist, counsellor (inc. vocational expert) • Experiences with: • job search training • in-work training of adults • counselling (people of different age) • putting together and using e-learning materials

  3. Project period • 2007  2009 • Fast changes on the labour market (needs etc) • 2007 – up face of economy, • 2009 – down face (so called MASU) • 2009 – Massive adults comeback to the school • Young people always have difficulties entering the labour market lack of experiences, the theory centred educational system (Friskie) • The adults do have some experiences, but their flexibility to adjust with changes is smaller (GetSet)

  4. Our goal • To create an interactive learning material, which could be used • By adults independently (help-yourself method) • At the training of how to find a job as a help material (binded with computer studies) • But also by counselling (individual, in groups) • To teach how to manage in life  the changing of self-esteem  the entry to the labour market  the improvement of life quality

  5. The beginning • Friskie's material expertise • Teachers/ tutors/ advisers who had experiences with these groups (6 persons – experts) • Target groups: • Adult learners – small enterprise, social care, ITC skills, handicraftsmen/artisans • Adults with learning disability(people we get from governmental social services) • Adults from coping skills courses • Young learners (age 17-25) with learning disabilities from KAK

  6. What did we achieve or the results? • Workbook to use on paper • Theme 1 – Work and training • Theme 2 – Useful steps forward • We have tried different worksheets on paper version (individually) • Opportunities to co-operate with the community have broadened • Interest has been generated (unemployment fund, local government)

  7. Riffs • Ensuring the interactivity of the material – so that it's up-to -date, interesting, easy to use (development is fast!) • The computer based version has not been tried out yet  expects a different method by instructing • The materials are situated in a server in Finland, on a Finnish address  hard to find on a search engine • Cultural differences are surprisingly big • Counselling process • The role of a counsellor • The capacity of independent work • Technical skills

  8. What next? • Training • Conference+ seminar • Estonian computer based version is about to get done • The use by students of KAK (100 students) and hearers • The planning of new co-operational projects

  9. Thank you! THANK YOU!
