What is JOT - "Jobs on trial"?
A specific French approach used in social and occupational guidance for the unemployed called le "tribunal des métiers" ("jobs on trial"), is based on role plays meant to put specific jobs "on trial", fostering the advantages and drawbacks of a trade. It is a method, related to serious games, used to bridge the gap between the employers and the jobless through a collaborative work undertaken in common, involving trade stakeholders, beneficiaries among whom the disadvantaged, people far from employment and training. Some adult beneficiaries play the part of the prosecution, others of the defense, stakeholders of the trade are called to the stand. It is a well appreciated playful way to discuss and discover a trade through fostering the interest of the jobs and a good way of unraveling prejudices with a focus on gender equality and equal opportunities for all in the labour market and develop beneficiaries' self-esteem through a collaborative work undertaken with corporate representatives.
JOT will therefore provide several European partners and their regions with an approach to support vulnerable adults through a specific method to bridge the gap between the jobless and trades, boosting beneficiaries' employability, taking into account the various labour market cultural approaches.
