Description
This project aims to help address the significant need for OSS in the Province of Bolzano, also considering that, with the constant increase in life expectancy, this shortage will only worsen in the coming years.
Through classroom training, practical training, and all support activities, participants will develop the skills needed to perform the duties of Social and Healthcare Operator and will be able to successfully take the external qualification exam at the “Levinas” Vocational School in Bolzano.
The training path will develop specific and practical skills on the following topics: social and healthcare services legislation, professional ethics, first aid, rehabilitation, psychology and communication with patients, gerontopsychiatry, and nutrition.
Knowledge will be consolidated through two separate training internships.
The course will also develop the skills needed to pass the bilingualism exam.
Target audience
The target audience of the training course consists of 8 people aged at least 17, who are in a situation of long-term unemployment or non-employment (jobless, unemployed, or workers below the minimum income), residing or domiciled in the Province of Bolzano.
Participants must have completed the final exam of the first eight-year cycle of education or hold an equivalent qualification if obtained abroad. They must also hold a fitness certificate attesting to the absence of impairments or illnesses that could prevent the performance of the functions required by the professional profile of Social and Healthcare Operator.
During selection, motivation to take part in a demanding training path and to perform a profession that involves assisting the sick and the elderly, and adherence to a defined code of conduct, will be assessed.
