For several decades, European policymakers have been investing substantial efforts in boosting national and individual engagement for lifelong learning (LLL) to drive sustainable growth and to build a more inclusive society. The forecasted longevity of the European population and the potentially extended employment period warrant further research on adult education of the currently aging (migrant) labour population to draw conclusions on their potential for both, increased civic participation and social inclusion beyond their working life. Accordingly, this paper focused on competence building practices of female middle-aged migrant healthworkers, covering thus a range of categories that are highly vulnerable at the labour market and in society. Findings of this qualitative research with 23 Romanian domestic careworkers in Turin suggest that formal and informal adult training may have indeed a substantial impact on social inclusion in the host society
