Aims and objectives:
T4TEMP aims to increase participation of NEETs, into the Labour market and in education through up-skilling educators, career counselors, youth workers in effective engagement methodologies. A secondary aim is to raise awareness of the heterogeneity of the NEET population across member states so that adaptations can accommodate diversity in the NEETs profile.
Educators, trainers, counselors’ access to knowledge regadring young people belonging to the so called NEETs group is limited. This is evident in working practices, as well as in direct interaction. Results of surveys show that only one in four (23%) trainers engaged in service provision within organisations supporting the EU countries labour market provide a correct percentage of NEETs in the European Union. Although the majority of trainers (78.8%) indicates that young people’s exclusion in the areas of education and employment is a serious problem in the contemporary Western Europe, only one in ten is aware of the problem and its real scale.
The objective of the project is to give the possibility to educators, youth workers,trainers and counselors for better and more targeted provision of services through the use of tools which will be implement under the project. To achieve the above aims the project will implement the following objectives:
– Identification of Best Practices and Techniques for Trainers dealing with NEETs.
– Development of an on-line e-Learning Toolkit. The use of specific tools would enable the target group to allocate their time with each one of the people who are in need of their services in a more constructive and effective way, via mobilizing internet technologies.
– Development and implementation of targeted courses , which enable them to understand, support and improve their skills in order to become more competitive and supportive to NEETs.
The partners of this consortium aspire to facilitate the work of the target group and fostering the delivery of more targeted services to people who are looking for a job and training, with the vision that the economies of the countries can become more competitive, when the professionals are satisfied from their professional choices and options.
