- Development of field guidance work;
- Trainings and seminars for guidance counsellors and definition of competences for counsellors;
- Proposals for further development of guidance in AE on the level of adult education policy and other social stakeholders.
DESCRIPTION
Based on a study of needs of less educated adults, we developed approaches to guidance activities for various less educated groups of adults. In Slovenia, these groups are mainly: migrants, less educated employed and unemployed and people over 50 years of age.

In order to implement the guidance activities, we established a partnership between the adult education guidance centre (AEGC centres and educational centres that provide adult education). We also defined the necessary guidance counsellor competences for work with vulnerable groups of adults. In addition to guidance, we also focused on evaluation: We evaluated the process of guidance activities for adult education, participation of different subjects, efficiency of the partnership collaborations and field work, results and effects. The evaluation results gave us a more detailed insight into measurements, criteria and factors that are the key to successful guidance activity in adult education. We will also use this data for development of systematic support on the policy-making and partnership level to upgrade the models of guidance in adult education in all partner countries.
KEY ACHIEVEMENTS
Our key achievements are presented in the publication Guidance of adults in education.
