• Unemployment in Germany is twice as high among people who have migration background compared to those who do not.

• Many migrants hold professional degrees and valuable skills and yet have problems finding adequate employment (the problem of “brain waste” and “precarious working conditions”)

• There has been a strong need for expert workforce in specialised fields in Germany and a significant gap between demand and the unused potential (the problem of “skill shortage”)

Key challenges

internal view external viewHow to balance standardization (efficiency) with

personalization (quality) of the badging system?

How to create value added for badge-earners when Open Badges are

not recognised by employers yet?

Competency design

ProfilPASS is a method (biographical, developmental and holistic approach) and an instrument (a set of questions for self-reflection and self-assessment accompanied by expert consulting/coaching on formulation of own goals and professional orientation) to capture individual competencies from formal, non-formal and informal learning contexts.
