DocUP

Upskilling domestic care workers to ensure resilient employment pathways

The DocUp project aims to:
A) equip domestic care workers (employed or seeking employment) with a mix of care, transversal and attitudinal skills to ensure resilient employment pathways, and
B) contribute towards advancing the regulatory environment and working conditions pertaining to domestic care (at the institutional level).

The partnership will develop and implement a set of tools: Evidence-based learning outcomes on emerging skills and competences required in the domestic care sector. This outcome aims to facilitate the development of high-quality learning opportunities that support and reinforce key competences for the exigencies of the domestic care work, both before and after the COVID-19 epidemic. A curriculum structure and a pool of pedagogical resources including educational instructions, learning, and assessment materials, designed to support the delivery of the course, a trainer handbook and a learner e-book. All materials will be based on the DoCUp learning outcomes and offered for unrestricted third-party use. An online course to act as a wide[1]access delivery method for the DoCUp curriculum on critical skills and practices of up-to date care provision. A framework and set of tools for the facilitation, recognition, and validation of domestic care work.
