The specific objectives were as follows 1- To develop the capacities of educators, trainers and integration advisers in the 6 partner countries through the exchange of good practice by developing the skills acquired during mobility, with the involvement of companies in mobility and their support for people after their Erasmus + experience, or any other international experience. 2- Strengthen the skills of adult educators, trainers and social advisers in terms of training and tutoring to stimulate the professional and social inclusion of their target groups, by developing a Guide to good practice. 3- Improve adult learners' access to the labour market by reinforcing and capitalising on their new non-technical, professional, intercultural and linguistic skills acquired during their mobility. 4- Raise awareness of international experience and its benefits within the labour market and the companies involved, and promote the Erasmus+ programme to companies. 5- To create a network of professionals in the field of formal and non-formal education who work with this target group and/or on Erasmus+ mobility.
The 2021-2027 programme gives high priority to people with the fewest opportunities. Young adults with the least opportunities and jobseekers are particularly targeted by training mobility opportunities. In 2019, NEETs represented more than 12.5% of 15-29 year-olds in the EU, and the percentage of NEETs among 24-29 year-olds is even higher (source INSEE). Long-term unemployment is an aggravating factor. The Erasmus + programme is a vehicle for integration for this group. Mobility through work placements improves the employability of these adults and their entry or return to the labour market. However, the involvement of local businesses and the link between the results of mobility and the labour market or entrepreneurship are still weak. As far as Erasmus + projects targeting this job-seeking public through NEET are concerned, the rest of the integration pathways remain insufficiently supported. With this TRIED and TRUE project, we wanted to create an opportunity for cooperation between several European organisations in order to exchange good practice in terms of post-Erasmus (or other mobility) follow-up and support.
