The main objective of the project is to positively contribute to increase of youth employment rate through the development of new knowledge, skills and attitudes of youth workers in the field of youth entrepreneurship. The specific objectives of this project are: - To know the needs of the target groups (youth workers and young people) in terms of their digital and entrepreneurial skills as well as the context where they are located and the challenges they are currently facing. - To provide youth workers with techniques, methods and good practices that function as supporting tools to develop digital and entrepreneurial skills in young people. _ To train youth workers on digital and entrepreneurial skills through a blended training course adapted to their needs and those of young people to acquire new knowledge, skills and attitudes to help young people in their development as well as improve their continuous professional experience. -To raise awareness on the importance of innovative entrepreneurship in young people and the significant role of youth workers to help reach that purpose.
We applied for this project because we wanted to solve certain problems facing young people, notably unemployment and poverty. Data published by Eurostat recently (2021), in the European Union show that the unemployment rate is 14.9%. This means that young people continue to have much more difficulty entering the job market compared to the rest of the population. As everyone knows, entrepreneurship is of crucial importance to the modern economy. Thus, the fight against youth unemployment is vital, not only for the well-being of young people but also to ensure sustainable and inclusive growth and social cohesion. Therefore, training youth workers through non-formal education quality is one of the solutions, because young people with entrepreneurial skills are better prepared to meet the challenges of the job market.
