The Sivis Study Centre promotes non-formal adult education and is partially funded by the Finnish Ministry of Education and Culture. In collaboration with various organizations, it aims to recognize and validate working life skills, providing young people and immigrants opportunities to showcase their skills through a badge system. The project involves identifying essential skills for employment, such as organizational, multicultural, and communication skills, and developing a family of badges to signify those skills.
