In this change the needs of traditionally disadvantaged and marginalised sections of the population are well documented. However within this change there are sub populations who are perceived to be immune to the threats of unemployment or whose situation is not explored. Ageing knowledge workers are one such group. Knowledge workers comprise over 108 million or 49% of European workers. In a fast changing economy these workers have been displaced by a number of factors, discussed in this paper, which contributes to a new level of marginalization. Further the skills and knowledge capacity of this population is being lost to the European economy and to active engagement at a more local level. With increasing longevity and pressures on welfare and pension systems the cost of retiring highly skilled knowledge workers while they are still active is being questioned. This paper seeks to map the factors impinging on the decisions that ageing knowledge workers make as they approach life transitions: unemployment, retirement, displacement. This paper suggests that, while further research and dialogue is needed, there is adequate understanding to recognise that the ageing knowledge workers are a resource that the modern world cannot afford, for both social and economic reasons, to lose.

Some of the specific aims of this project were, testing and evaluating RVCC (Recognition, validation and certification of competences) methodology and tools in each partner country (Poland, Italy, Bulgaria, Germany and Spain) through a pilot session, and developing a guideline to boost the transferability to other European countries of RVCC methodology and tools as an APL innovative model. To succeed in this each partner country has accomplished a national pilot session with VET teachers/ trainers/guidance professionals and has compiled a national pilot feedback and evaluation report. The national reports led to the development of a common guideline based on national piloting experiences with the aim of boosting the transferability to other European countries of RVCC methodology and tools as an APL innovative model for future APL professionals. From national pilot evaluation reports have come relevant recommendations and indications as considerations about the methodology to build and train the future APL Staff, the interaction between various organizations involved and stakeholders, the organization of the whole APL process (human resources, financial issues, centralized/decentralized etc.), the reception and comprehension of the tools by people working in the field and, finally, the possibilities of implementation at local, regional or national level.

The contribution of VET teachers and trainers (hereafter VET trainers) to the European policies of Lifelong learning is widely known, as well as their acknowledgement as key stakeholders for the goals of the ET2020 and for the implementation of ECVET model and other European instruments, based on a learning outcomes approach. Up to now, VET teachers and trainers have not been officially involved in the implementation of ECVET. In some countries developing projects and pilot experiences, trainers have collaborated on the design of the different elements of ECVET, such as in the description of learning outcomes. In the development ECVET it is expected that they can assume tasks for assessing learning outcomes and develop guidance activities. One of the most important findings of this project deal with the possible role of VET teachers and trainers would assume in the development of ECVET taking into account the different principles of this credit methodology: description of qualifications, desing of units of learning outcomes, allocation of ECVET points, collaboration with competent institutions, participation in the Memorandum of Understanding and development of Learning agreements, assessment of learning outcomes and their contribution in the relation between ECVET and ECTS methodologies.
