EU Projects: Raising Horizons - "A Bridge to the Outside World"

This multi-national project (part funded by the European Commission's Leonardo da Vinci programme) concerns the development of a series of assessment tools (CV builder) and learning strategies to ensure persons with a learning disability have equal-access to job opportunities.

Employers were also closely involved in this project. This courseware is available on an interactive CD-Rom.


In summary, the Project is defined as providing Equality of Access and Empowerment through the development of:

(1) Learning courseware designed to develop communication skills leading to employment.
(2) Coaches e-learning courseware to support the learner in developing these skills.
(3) Computer based e-assessment using a ‘CV-Builder’.

An employer’s e-learning package designed to raise employer awareness of the strengths and needs of the defined target group.

The target group could be defined as:

(1) Persons with socio/inter-actional disabilities
(2) Beneficiaries in transition from education to employment or those seeking employment

The Foundation acted as Promoter and Project Manager for this multi-sectoral project.

NOTE: The CD has been enhanced and further enhanced developed since it's original production.
