KIMET pretends to improve and develop the knowledge identification, capitalisation and transmission and to improve the participation of the experienced workers (more aged) in the evolution of the Metal SMES enabling the integration of new workers.

All this, by means of the development and adaptation of a Didactic guide allowing the Metal SMES to have their workers’ experience validated and to transmit their knowledge to the new workers, favouring reciprocal exchange and allowing the knowledge transmission in new situations, encouraging the working places to favour learning.

The aim is to translate into particular actions the reflection on the knowledge transmission in the company. In other words, the aim is to formalize a common methodology and tools in order to encourage:

- The development of the lack of knowledge about age management that exists in the SMEs.
- Increase the motivation and participation of the experienced workers, with knowledge often not recognized but still essential for the future of the company (validation of their experience);
- To facilitate the transmission of this knowledge to new recruits;
- to promote a reciprocal exchange;
- To allow the transfer of knowledge in new situations.
