The document outlines the Upcaring project which aims to improve home care workers' professionalism and access to employment. It developed a European competence framework for home care workers consisting of 5 macro areas of competence. The framework was tested in multiple European countries. The Upcaring system integrates skill assessment, e-learning, and a job matching service to support home care workers' professionalization and mobility across Europe. All resources are available on the project website at www.upcaring.eu.
