The project ended in February – but the products are of course still accessible and can and should be used. The training offer also remains – as a KA1 offer.
One important element of the Job Bridge approach is the training course addressing volunteering facilitators. The aim of the course is to bring about the concept of validation and competence oriented learning to facilitators of volunteering actions. It seeks to enable them to further develop their offers and activities into learning experiences that make a difference also in the career pathways of the volunteers.
The Job Bridge consortium has turned the course that was piloted in February 2020 with 22 participants in a KA1 course and has already scheduled three courses for autumn 2021 and early 2022 – in the hope that travel will be possible again then.

We are happy to announce the three winners of our Job Bridge Award – the Job Bridge Award addressed projects and initiatives aimed at validating learning outcomes in volunteering.
This is the last call – if you have not submitted your project yet, you still have the chance to do so by 15th November 2020. We are looking forward to reading about your creative learning projects.
Are you working with volunteers? Do you support them in validating their competences acquired, or do you have an innovative idea?
Do you do any volunteer work?
The 3-day course was successfully carried out in the premises of BUPNET on 11th-13th of February, 2020. Overall, 22 participants took part in the course – all trainers, facilitators and multipliers that work with volunteers in volunteer-based organisations, educational institutes or local bodies. 
The Job Bridge partners will provide a three-day training course in Göttingen from 11th to 13th of February, 2020. It addresses representatives from volunteering organisations and adult education organisations welcoming volunteers and will enable them to implement competence-oriented approaches with volunteers and validate competences acquired in the voluntary activities.
The second partner meeting took place on 07./08.10.2019 in Rome. The main purpose was to define the topics of the training course for volunteering facilitators and to set up the curriculum for the three-day course that will take place in February 2020 in Göttingen.
What are the competences that you can acquire in voluntary activities – besides those that depend on the actual voluntary placement. This was one of the leading questions in the research phase. The partners built a first repository and consolidated it with extensive research activities. The resulting list contains 23 competencies. These are :
