Purpose of the toolkit
The ProfilPASS is a portfolio of tools for self-evaluation to support young volunteers to self-evaluate and self-reflect on their abilities, competences and skills developed while volunteering as possible pathways towards employment.
The portfolio supports young volunteers in recognising the skills they have developed. It allows the volunteers to receive a certificate that validates the skills acquired.
Detailed description of the components of the tool/toolkit
Exercises to self-evaluate and recognise skills and competences developed while volunteering:
- Tool to evaluate and reflect on volunteering activities: aims to raise awareness of all the skills participants learnt. At the end of the exercise participants should have an overview of their competencies and have the ability to present them to others.
- Overview of competences: this tool helps to take stock of skills in the context of lifelong learning.
- Next steps: this tool helps participants to identify next steps towards possible employment and entering professional life, involvement and improvement of skills within further activities, e.g. volunteering.
Method and/or information used for developing the tool/toolkit
- The ProfilPass was developed within the Erasmus+ project European Volunteer Inclusion Program (EuroVIP) implemented by a consortium of Civil Society Organizations.
- The project aims to validate the skills and competences of young adults during volunteer activities and to promote volunteering as valuable for entrance into the labour market.
- The portfolio was tested in pilot projects.
