Supporting adult education opportunities for learners and employers: contribute to the RALExILA research!

Do you want to contribute to shaping adult education opportunities in your country and in Europe? We are currently researching employers and adult education learners needs and experiences in the process of choosing, supporting and acquiring adult education opportunities and we would be happy to have your valuable insight through a short survey!

The project RALExILA – National Registries of Adult Learning and Education to support the deployment of Individual Learning Accounts is researching employers and adult education learners needs and experiences in the process of choosing, supporting and acquiring adult education opportunities.

The aim of the project is to develop and deliver a model and a proof of concept for the national registries for training opportunities (focusing on ALE – Adult Learning and Education), with a methodology based on interoperability, accessibility and inclusiveness, also looking at quality of the education opportunities and the relevance of such training in terms of employability and personal development.

All adult learners and employers from the following countries are invited to support the research and share their valuable insight through a survey: Croatia, Cyprus, Finland, France, Ireland, Malta, Slovakia, Slovenia, The Netherlands and Portugal.

The survey is anonymous and it will be used by the RALExILA partners to develop a new and innovative approach for adult education opportunities in Europe, with your contribution!

What does Quality Assurance mean in non-formal ALE?

For many educators and policymakers, ‘Quality Assurance’ is linked to strong bureaucratic processes and additional workload. In our view, we look  at Quality assurance as an organisational culture and a mindset, a mindful process of continuous improvements.
