Objectives

The general situation in a lot of European countries at the moment is is that they are suffering from a high rate of youth unemployment. This leads - combined with the freedom of settlement guaranteed by the EU - to lots of well-educated young people searching for a job in another country than their home. After some time lots of these young people come back frustrated to their home country because they cannot find a job or they cannot tackle the different cultural attitudes towards work and getting dismissed. Every future employee should be aware of having to tackle another language as well as significant differences in the organisation and results of working processes etc., differences which are not transparent and therefore potentially problematic for the employee. Also there should be the awareness that there could be foreign staff having these problems in your company even if you live and work in your own home country. For a successful job application in a European country the young people need to have knowledge about specific differences e.g. in the application process, the documents required (application, CV),the procedures of a job interview or assessment centres or the structure of the respective labour market. So the aim of the project was to raise the competences of the young people for the Europe-wide labor market, which included: • applying for a job in a foreign country ; • being successful in a job interview in a foreign country ,being aware of differences in labor law between the countries ; • being able to tackle with different cultural attitudes towards work; • gaining an entrepreneurial view on human resources processes ;
