Project Description
The project persp@ctive fosters the development of young people’s digital competences and entrepreneurial skills to ease their way to the labour market. It focuses on young disadvantaged peoplein the pilot regions of Moldova and Ukraine. The target group includes youth in rural areas, NEETs (Not in Education, Employment, or Training), young women and youth with disabilities. The project relies on four main components:
1. Digit: development and introduction of a career counselling approach to enhance digital skills (self-assessment tool, training course, trainings for trainers, who will multiply the received knowledge in their countries, and finally piloting of new approaches and courses in the selected regions in Ukraine and Moldova).
2. Company: similar tools as in Component 1 are developed and applied to empower the disadvantaged youth with entrepreneurial skills.
3. Networking: to overcome the lack of cooperation and coordination between the involved organisations and stakeholders the national networks YourSkills Ukraine and YourSkills Moldova are established to include National Employment Agencies, education and training providers, NGOs, public authorities and administrations, companies, etc. Round tables, the networking trainings, network symposia and conferences promote and encourage lasting cooperation via networking.
4. Awareness: including an awareness-raising campaign on the importance of digital skills for employability and informative measures on how to gain them.
