Project "SOLOCOM"
Project Title
One Person Enterprises – Atypical Forms as an Opportunity in the Labour Market
Abstract
The situation of the self-employed is to be examined in the scope of a demand analysis in each participating country in order to clarify the needs of the target group. This analysis includes forms of atypical employment, especially the self-employed and entrepreneurs.
The synthesis of all national reports will show common and different aspects of the situation of the self-employed. It will be the basis for developing the curriculum.
In the next step the curriculum will be developed and summarized within a handbook, a trainer manual, checklists and a CD-Rom. The curriculum will include basics of economics, social skills and practical organisation. Moreover, a technical platform will offer e-learning methods for the participants.
The curriculum will be tested and evaluated in the scope of a pilot project with a group of people who wish to become self-employed.
abif is responsible for the Austrian demand analysis, the synthesis of the national reports and the documentation of the results of the curriculum development phase.
Aside from the Austrian co-ordinator, the transnational partners belong to the following countries: Germany, France, Great Britain, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland, Slovenia.
