LOST2
Definition of competences at European level for the recognition of the qualification
LOST2 project spans 30 months with nine partners from six European countries. Its objective is to improve social inclusion, especially for young people. The number of missing people and children in Europe has increased significantly, with 200,000 children being reported missing and only 33% being found. LOST2 aims to establish a unified European system for tracking these unfortunate occurrences by defining a core professional profile for “Experts in the Research of Missing People & Minors.” The project’s objective is to create a common, high-level training standard across Europe that would result in a qualification recognized in EU countries.
Goal: To make it easier for employers across Europe to recognize and hire professionals trained in analyzing and researching missing persons through the LOST project.
- Increase visibility of the professional profile at the national and EU level.
- Analyze and define the proposed qualifications in the LOST project.
- Create a consistent documentation of the qualifications that meet European standards, allowing for verification, validation, and recognition of learning by national/local authorities.
- Establish a foundation for the qualification’s equivalence in Europe, following the standards recommended by the recent Council Recommendation, to provide certification for all EU countries.
- Expand employment opportunities for these professionals by making their qualifications usable and transferable across all EU countries.
