Across Europe demographic trends and labour market policies aimed at delaying retirement, are leading to an increase in the average age of the workforce. People are wanting to, or having to, work for longer than ever before. This is a cause for concern for both employers and older workers if skills, and therefore productivity and employability, deteriorate with age.
The goal of the SASSI project is to give people the opportunity to maintain a productive working life by focusing on the updating and upskilling of this ageing workforce. It seeks to identify evidence of good practice in terms of HR strategies and workforce development initiatives for older workers and learners from across Europe – highlighting these as exemplars for others. It also aims to provide Trainers and Employers with a range of skills, tools and techniques to help them support older learners and workers more effectively.
We are seeking submissions of innovative workforce development strategies that

Many of the refugees who have been arriving in Europe in the past two years got the legal title to stay and are now emerging in the labour markets. Various integration programmes to prepare them for employment are in place: vocational qualification assessment programmes, language courses, European value and integration courses, general labour market qualification, orientation and insertion programmes, informal counselling and support centres, refugee volunteering schemes, to list but some of the most common integration measures. die Berater is providing several programmes of this kind.
These programmes are no doubt needed and a pre-requisite to successful entering the European labour markets. But they are not enough. Many companies and organisations which are expected to employ refugee immigrants are reluctant to do so. According to the Austrian Employment Service (AMS) only 15% of those refugees who have arrived in Austria between 2015 and mid 2016 with a positive asylum decree have managed to find a job.
Not only need refugees be prepared and qualified, also their prospective employers need information, support and encouragement to employ refugees. The project REST, developed by die Berater together with partners from Germany, Greece, Italy and Bulgaria and funded by the European Union’s AMIF programme, will develop suitable training and counselling offers for employers in the next two year. The project has just started with a kick-off in Kassel, Germany.
LikeHome is a collaboration project between nine organizations from seven different European countries to foster the inclusion of newly arrived migrants and refugees to a host country´s education and training systems, to the local economy and society in general.

Online Games for Strategic Management or Business Simulators are especially useful for skill development. Rather than offering traditional paper-based or online static courses, Virtual Games can offer an incredibly immersive and engaging environment where users “learn by doing”.
Bearing this in mind, a partnership of European entrepreneurship enthusiasts has gathered to develop BGame, an innovative European-funded project in which serious gaming and virtual reality are used to improve skills needed in the 21st century companies.
The objective is to develop an innovative learning tool, the BGame game, where players (managers, representatives from SMEs and entrepreneurs) can select among 8 business scenarios and lead their company towards successful internationalization. The game is complemented with e-learning resources that help players take decisions in any round as it presents detailed explanations of the topics of the game, such as strategic management, international marketing, foreign markets, finances, among others.

How to change the mindset of young people studying engineering or Information Technology in post- communist countries like Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Kosovo, Albania and Russia? How to make these students more innovative and daring, how to encourage them to consider – yes, risky! – careers as entrepreneurs instead of aiming at safe but rather unpromising jobs in the public sector? These young people are the ones who can make crucial contributions to the development of their countries, but often enough they are reluctant to do so.
These questions were intensively discussed in the kick-off meeting of the EU project REBUS – Ready for Business, hosted by die Berater® in Vienna. In the next three years REBUS will develop and implement new forms of entrepreneurial learning in the countries mentioned above. Entrepreneurship cannot be learnt in class-rooms, but through practice-oriented learning like project, mentoring programmes, internships of transnational mobility. These practical activities will be accompanied by blended learning and validation through the well-proven Level5 approach which will make the acquired competences visible to the students themselves and to prospective employers.
