Training for job coaches: Building a resume-narrative with the Olympic tool

This training is part of the job coach portal. Job coaches learn to build a resume-narrative with their coachee using the Olympic tool. You can find them here on this webpage.

Policy challenges

During the learning network we have gathered challenges for policy makers in order to realize a higher influx of non-EU migrants in our labor market. These challenges are not published on this website. We have delivered them directly to the responsible authorities.

New jobs, new skills and new coaching approaches

In a mutual learning process, we shared insights and experiences with two other projects: Feelix in Finland and Green Jobs In Bulgaria. Especially the Feelix project inspired us. We integrated the SomeBody method from this project into the Olympic tool.

Project addressed by applying Appreciative Inquiry (AI) principles.

During the project we worked with dialogue days, design factories and an advisory board. Our final products gradually took shape and content through an appreciative inquiry dialogue with and between employers, professionals and non-EU migrants. We delivered the insights with the ESF final report.
