The main challenge that the project addresses is the reintegration of young people (NEETs) into the labor market – our core objective the establishment of social innovative business solutions and the finding of employment in social enterprises by young unemployed people aged between 18-29 and 25-29 years old in particular. The NEETs will be trained and gain work-based experience in one or more social economy and civil society organisations.
Expected results constitute the rise of employability of NEETS from vulnerable groups of society in five main sectors such as culture and tourism industry, health care, agriculture, IT and open source software and alternative energy sources. We also aim to build an expert transnational cooperation network in 7 EU countries, to increase skills acquisition of former NEETs.
The transnational added value of our project is secured by its geographical span in 7 countries and the involvement of an expertise partner with substantial experience in social economy and entrepreneurship.
The project results will be measured through a monitoring and evaluation system established in all participating organisations and the establishment of quantitative and qualitative indicators. The methods used, the tools and the structures established within the project will be replicable and able to be funded within other European funding and national programs, ensuring in this way the sustainability of projects outcomes and outputs.
