Creating Possibilities for Integration of Young People on the Labour Market

The main objective of the project is the formation of knowledge and skills to support the employment of young people. The aim is to create opportunities for young people from different countries to carry out informal training and intercultural dialogue with young people to contribute to their successful inclusion in the labour market and to support the development of their social skills.
The main objective of the project is to build a network of experts and practitioners to identify early skills that respond to changing labour market needs. Youth exchanges will focus on the latest trends and skills needed by the European labour market. Specific knowledge is needed for the different sectors of the economy, and there are several basic and industry-specific requirements. There is the need for foreign languages and so-called "soft" skills among young people.
The young participants in the project will gain knowledge and skills in the following areas:
Teamwork: Based on the gameplay method, young people's teamwork skills will be developed while at the same time developing
managerial and language skills of participants.
Analytical thinking: These skills will develop in the process of informal learning about human resources management, relationship management, and intercultural dialogue during youth exchanges.
Ability to develop a CV, cover letter and fill in the European Language Passport: In addition to the theoretical and technical knowledge the participants will acquire, they will also receive effective practice advice that can help them distinguish themselves from other candidates for work.
Project participants will learn about recruitment methods and techniques and will receive practical advice on how to succeed in a job interview.
Developing digital skills.
Development of presentation skills.

Context: According to the statistics in Sofia, Bulgaria, about 18% of the 15-18 age group fail to find suitable work due to different barriers and public prejudices and are doomed to social isolation and low social status. The key to emerging from social exclusion is in the formation of practical and important skills. The school environment does not currently provide activities where the emphasis is on socially meaningful coping skills in life and successful movement into the labour market.
