The purpose of this study is to investigate how work-based learning that focuses on the acquisition of key competences can contribute to getting low-skilled unemployed adults back into the labour market. The main objectives are:

-  To analyse the existence and effectiveness of such work-based learning programmes, and the extent to which they are used in national unemployment policies;

-  To analyse the actual and potential design of such programmes, taking particularly into account the key competences (to be) addressed, the specific target group and the concepts of work-based learning (to be) used;

-  To identify future research needs and to provide some key messages for policy - and decision makers and for those who design and implement such programmes.

The study shall consist of a profound desk-research, a comparative overview of policies and practices in 15 EU member states and 10 in-depth case-studies.
