32The main purpose of the project is to create an interactive tool for careers advisors. The tool will help them support adults, in particular those with few qualifications. A draft tool has now been developed and includes information guides for the 6 countries included in the partnership (UK, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Czech Republic and Germany) with links to useful websites containing information on job searches, health and safety information, workplace laws and housing arrangements. There is also a useful reading list which indicates which books might help in preparing for work in the destination country. The tool also includes useful addresses and contact details for twelve countries - ten of which are regarded as the top ten destination countries across Europe. These include services like drop-in centres for migrants that could help with problems which may arise once in the destination country and employment agencies to assist in finding a job. The Mol@m tool also includes case studies of people who have already moved to another European country to work as shown in Figure 1.1. These stories give a real insight into what moving to another EU country for work is really like. NCGE NEWS Summer 2012EuroguidanceEncouraging Movement with Mol@mYouth in ActionEuroguidance Ireland hosted in NCGE, provides information on opportunities to study in Europe. Many students require information on working abroad. Travelling to another European country for employment is becoming increasingly popular. It can be challenging to find a one stop shop to assist guidance professionals in supporting the client in their decision to move abroad. The Mol@m project aims to address this and to promote travelling to other European countries for employment by providing careers advisors with a better knowledge of EU labour markets.

The partnership countries have tried to make the tool as easy as possible to navigate with clear instructions. Below are some screenshots taken from the interactive tool to illustrate this. The prototype of the online tool is almost ready for pilot testing and has been developed by Careers Europe, the Euroguidance Centre for the United Kingdom. As the Euroguidance Centre, it provides guidance professionals with information on living and working in Europe, in a way which is accessible. To meet this aim they also produce EXODUS - a database providing up to date information on living, working and studying abroad. The Mol@m project will develop an online tool that is complementary to the EXODUS database.
