PRO-INSERE

The PRO-INSERE project was structured according to a territorialised action methodology in Vila Nova de Gaia that promotes the discovery, acquisition and promotion of individuals’ resources and competences that can favour their autonomy.

PRO-INSERE established two structures with different, yet complementary goals: the Observatório para as Novas Competências [ONC] (Observatory for New Competences) and the Gabinete de Apoio Psicossocial (GAPS) (Psychosocial Support Office). This way, it developed instruments of action-reflection capable of shedding a new tolerant and critic light on the new market demands through the actions carried out by the ONC. In addition to this analysis and intervention dimension, a micro-structural plan was created by the GAPS, in order to improve the biographic dimension of the individuals.

In this ambit, three editions of the training course “Competências para a Qualificação Profissional” (Competences for Professional Qualification), with the duration of 250 hours, were carried out, in order to develop employability promotion strategies. The International Seminar “Conhecer, Intervir e Desenvolver” was also organised.
