Feeling lost is something experienced by a lot of young people and can be found throughout Europe. In Spain more than 55 percent of young people are unemployed; this does not give young people a great deal of perspective, prospect or hope in finding work.
With the EU-Project Youth Employment Support (YES), die Berater® established an innovative training and coaching toolkit to support HR managers, recruiters and in-company advisors who employ and educate young people from marginalised groups.
The Leonardo da Vinci Transfer of Innovation Project „Big Bang“ adapts these existing materials to address current issues of youth unemployment and to ‘build a bridge’ between work-based culture and the culture of social exclusion. This will include addressing the problem of low ambition of young people and those who are participating in anti-social and/or negative peer group behaviour, such as ‘gang’ culture and offending.
The issues addressed by the YES and Big Bang project have now been presented at The European monitoring conference in Brussels on 11th and 12th February 2014 in order to contribute to work-based learning (WBL) and support of youth employment and economic competitiveness in Europe. Established apprenticeship systems are of high relevance when it comes to youth employment, and at the conference one of the key questions was what types of collaboration and support is needed to attract and engage more companies, and particular SMEs, in training young people as the future workforce in Europe
Big Bang is and EU Project funded by the Lifelong Learning Programme.
