The main results of the project consist of a tool (a portfolio) and method (a guide): a portfolio of skills and competences for the volunteers (44 pages) ; a guide for accompanying them (28 pages).

The portfolio comprehends 9 parts :

2. a list of training followed
3. the missions fulfilled
4. a method to identify the competences (mind-map)
5. a list of competences (tables of competences)
6. an action plan for the volunteer
7. a synthesis of the portfolio
8. the volunteer's curriculum vitae
9. Annexes : European CV , pressentation of the association

The guide comprehends 7 points :

2. the steps of the AVE process
3. a tool : the portfolio
4. the main objectives of the tool
5. a method : self-evaluation or accompanying with a guide

The main publics focussed are :

1. volunteers willing to renew with the labour market : youngsters, parents after having raised the children, long term unemployed people
2. public authorities working with associations ;
