Apprenticeship as a pathway to employability
Date du début: 1 oct. 2015, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2016 PROJET  TERMINÉ 

According to new data on unemployment, published by Eurostat (the statistical office of the European Union), in December 2014, the youth unemployment rate was 21.4% in the EU28 and 23.0% in the euro area; young people unemployment is a big problem that the European Union is trying to resolve nowadays this topic being found as well in policies as Rethinking Education: Investing in skills for better socio-economic outcomes, EU Youth Strategy and Europe 2020 targets. As a solution to drop the unemployment rate we would like to promote and introduce the concept of apprenticeship; we believe that kicking off their career with an apprenticeship is a great way for young people to get a head short in the field they want to work in.This will help them gain and develop professional skills and get experience in the work field while they earn some money . We will organise a seminar that will help 30 youth workers from UK, Romania and Spain understand in a deepeer, more meaningful way the concept of apprenticeship, share their experience, learn from good practice schemes, identify the challenges with regards to the topic etc. and a training that will help 21 youth workers from UK, Romania and Spain develop the necessary skills and competences to be able to bring together the unemployed young people and the local firms and create a successfull Apprenticeship Program in their area. We believe that developing high quality apprenticeship programmes is the best solution to equip young people with the right skills and experience for sustainable employment. The main objective of the project is to raise the employment rate among young people, with an accent on young people with few opportunities. Specific objectives O1 Support the understanding of the apprenticeship concept and programmes in a deeper, more meaningfull way by the 30 youth workers from Romania, England and Spain. O2 Raise awareness among employers and other social actors of the importance of apprenticeship as a method to increase employability. O3 Develop the necessary skills and competences to be able to bring together the unemployed young people and the local firms and create a successfull Apprenticeship Program by the 21 youth workers from Romania, England and Spain. Improving the way of operating towards their target group in the 3 partner organisations: CREED Romania, Capacity London and Building Bridges. Working methods used: open discussions, research, presentations, debates, open forum, open space, games, peer to peer education, Walt Disney Strategy, brainstorming, SMART method, mentoring, role play, games, debates, public speaking, workshops, storytelling, open discussions, games, public cafe etc. There will be a manual of methods used during the seminar and tainings that will be available online. The results and impact we desire consists in implementing a successfull apprenticeship programme in Madrid, Neamt and Newcastle upon Tyne/ London. We will achieve that by creating a database with firms interested in the programme, raising awareness among young people, having professional youth workers that facilitate the process, creating a brochure that will help other social actors multiply the project . This will decrease the rate of unemployment among young people on longer term.
