The University and the Permanent Learning as resources for employability in a Liquid Modernity

University of Bologna, RomaTre and Salento with the cooperation of BioSelfLab s.r.l. are starting a project for female employability. The aim is to educate women on there cognition and storytelling of prior learning in order to encourage a smart vocational guidance. The project actively involves the educational and research system and the business system, northward to south of Italy. In this way, three Universities, in collaboration with local businesses and the local area, concretely expand access, through actions for citizens, not only aimed at the acquisition of academic qualifications; but through learning actions that exploit the prior learning of the women, as learning, not necessarily from the formal context of education. Business partnerships facilitate dialogue with the labour market, offering educational perspectives more closely connected to the work environment . The target audience is women in search of employment, but also women workers and unemployed female students.
