Handbook: "Valued by You, Valued by Others: Improving the visibility of competences in Youthpass"

Aims of the tool

The handbook provides insights on how to support learning reflection and suggests tools and methods for documenting learning outcomes with Youthpass.

Description of the tool

Working on a Youthpass certificate has an important value of its own – it is an educational process giving young people enhanced self-awareness, more confidence and the ability to reflect on what they may want to learn next. However, Youthpass can also be helpful when it comes to presenting their acquired competences to others.

“Valued by You, Valued by Others” focuses on the transferability of the Youthpass certificate esp. in situations when a young person may need to provide proof of their competences and experience.
This handbook focuses particularly on two main contexts in which Youthpass holders may want to present their competences – one, when they are applying for jobs and two, in the context of formal education and validation. Before learning outcomes are communicated, they need to be collected and meaningfully documented, so a large section of the handbook is dedicated to reflection.
