According to Eurostat in December 2021, 2.748 million young persons (under 25) were unemployed in the EU, of whom 2.222 million were in the euro area. In December 2021, the youth unemployment rate was 14.9 % in both the EU and the euro area, down from 15.3 % in the EU and 15.4 % in the euro area in the previous month. Thou all economic measures to recuperate from COVID-19 are slightly improving the situation, young people and specially disadvantaged young people are still a high-risk group for employability. During a January 2022 debate on measures to address the devastating effect of the COVID-19 crisis on young Europeans’ employment, education and mental health, Members of the European parliament (MEP) urged the prioritisation of the needs of young people. In particular MEPs expressed concerns about the most vulnerable NEETs (young people not in employment, education or training). MEPs demanded concrete measures to ensure quality and fair remuneration for work, traineeships and apprenticeship experience. They said young people must play a vital role in shaping Europe’s employment and social policies. To this extent, and placing the work of non-formal education in the cornerstone of disadvantaged youngsters skills development, this project is being specifically carried out to achieve the following objectives: 1)To improve the capacity of youth work and youth workers to successfully reach, train and help NEET youngsters to get into the labor market in the post-Covid-19 recovery period. 2)To help increase NEET youngsters employability rates through non-formal education initiatives fostering their inclusion into the labor market. To do so, the project is focusing on the following specific objectives: 1.Raise awareness on Youth unemployment in Europe – this will be achieved through presentations on the current unemployment outlook of young people in Europe, addressing concepts and phenomenon such us unemployment and underemployment and the mismatch between available jobs and young people's needs. Comparisons of unemployment rates between EU and neighbouring countries will be explored and evaluated on the basis of practical exercises to draw conclusion on the causes for different rates across countries. 2.Understanding unemployment rates of disadvantaged youth groups: finding solutions- Youth workers will be capacitated with identifying groups marginalised in the Labour sphere in Europe and they will gain the skills and competences to ensure inclusion of these vulnerable groups in the Labour market. 3.Integrating EU employment youth mechanisms into youth work- The project is being carried out to raise awareness on what the EU is doing to promote the inclusion of youth workers in the Labour force through different programs such as the European digital traineeships, Erasmus for young entrepreneurs’ program and various EU internship programs for young people to work in Brussels at the European parliament and other departments of the EU. It will also address the following needs and objectives: 4.Skill mismatch: Boosting Digital and technological Competencies- The project is also being carried out to address the skills mismatch between the available jobs and the digital & technological competences of young people specially NEETs. The training sessions will raise youth workers’ awareness on the digital skills gap in Europe and what is being done to address this situation. The youth workers will be given the skills on what they can do to improve their digital competences in order to be digitally competitive in the European job market. 5.Jobs of the future – The project is being carried out to address the evolving profile of jobs within the labor market. Youth Workers will discuss and map the jobs to come and came up with strategies that could help them to already start preparing youngsters for the challenges ahead. 6.Sharing best practices on entrepreneurial experiences – The project is being carried out to empower the youth workers on entrepreneurial skills and mindset and how to transfer it to the NEET youngsters they work with. To achieve these goals, a peer learning approach would be proposed throughout the project ensuring, not just successful co-operation throughout its preparation and follow-up but a training based on exchange of best practices between organisations and countries.
