As artificial intelligence becomes more and more common in the workplace, the importance of skills which cannot be compensated by technology (yet) has been significantly increasing. According to the Global Talent Trends 2019 report, 92% of hiring managers reported that it is equally or even more important to hire candidates with good soft skills than candidates who score high in hard skills. Only 8% of managers would hire a candidate based on their hard skills, compared to 30% who would prioritise a candidate with good soft skills. Therefore, it is important that young people acquire those skills which are in high demand on the job market. According to Forbes, the most essential skills on the job market today are data literacy and knowledge of technologies, critical thinking, creativity, cultural intelligence and diversity. Another two skills important for the current job market are leadership skills and collaboration. Leadership shows people the way, it motivates and empowers them so that they can achieve their goals. This is related to collaboration which needs to be efficient in order to reach the goals. According to three out of eight Eurobarometer surveys, emotional intelligence is also one of the skills that employers are looking for when employing someone. EQ will get even more important as the artificial intelligence gains more power in the workplace and emotional and creative capabilities will be one of the very few things differentiating humans from computers. According to LinkedIn, people with high EQ outperform those with high IQs 70% of the time (LinkedIn, 2018). Therefore, the job requirements on the candidates in the recruitment process will move from IQ towards soft skills. Even though emotional intelligence plays a significant role in employability, the instant use of technologies in our daily lives is not fostering the development of our emotional intelligence further, but it rather moves our focus in the opposite direction. According to Psychology Today, the daily use of technologies lowers EQ as among other things, it weakens the self regulation of a person (Psychology Today, 2017). Based on the above mentioned trends, the partners believed that beside of earning a vocation, young people including disadvantaged groups need to develop and improve their soft skills to become competitive on the job market. Therefore, the aim of this project was to increase the likelihood of employment of young people, by strengthening the competences of youth workers within the current employability trends. In order to achieve the aim, the following objectives were identified: - To raise awareness upon the most important employability trends - To educate youth workers on the most sought-after employability skills nowadays - To share experience of youth workers within employability trends and skills - To give youth workers tools and methods upon supporting young people to develop valuable skills for the labour market - To bring young people from disadvantaged groups closer to their chances of employment To achieve the objectives, a 10-days training course for youth workers was organised in November 2021 in Slettestrand, Denmark.
