Youth unemployment is a common challenge for European countries, and there is a necessity to modernize VET programmes in the music field, as young musicians are in the risk group for unemployment. The activities will be carried in three partner countries: Latvia, Estonia, and Sweden. The target group of the project is VET learners in the field of music from the age 14 till the age 24, number of target group directly involved is 690, and final beneficiaries are approximately 7500 persons. As for composition of the partnership Latvia always was known with its brilliant music traditions, the names of Latvian musicians like G.Kremers, M.Majskis, E.Garanca are known through all the world, as they are leaders in their profession - in music. In the same way Estonia has P.Vaahi and Sweden has strong vocal traditions and various brilliant names (ABBA). These potential and professional skills have to be developed in the future through modern vocational training programmes. The project is conforming fully with the Erasmus+ programme’s horizontal priority for improving achievement in relevant and high-level basic and transversal competences in a lifelong learning perspective and is in line with field priority for further strengthening key competences in VET curricula. It satisfies Erasmus+ field priority for promoting work-based learning in all its forms, with special attention to apprenticeship-type training. Activities foresee practical workshops in mixed groups with high class field professionals in learning rooms and audio studios, so learners’ professional skills for further work will be improved. The project will present three main intellectual outputs for VET learners in the music field, such as alternative learning programme modules, study on young professionals’ employability and IT portal for improving learners’ possibilities in a labour market and providing regular information on VET programmes and alternatives.There will be four main methods, used for achieving positive results in the frame of strategic partnership project:1) Research activities - for recognizing challenges, scope of the problem and tendencies;2) Elaboration of new programmes - for strengthening key and transversal competencies;3) Apprenticeship method - for strengthening professional skills;4) Using ICT technologies - for improving employability of target group in a long term.Main results are:- explored aspects of youth unemployment problem in the concrete field of activity;- improved professional skills in music through apprenticeship approach;- proposed innovative VET learning programme modules for VET learners;- improved key and transversal competences of learners concerning foreign language skills, entrepreneurship competences, and ICT skills;- raised effectiveness and improved flexibility of VET learning with the proposed module for individual plans for learners;- raised employability of young musicians by providing practical tools - IT portal, Contact Fair.All produced intellectual outputs will give long term impact on the target group, as well as learning programme modules could be used in all VET institutions in many artistic fields. The IT portal will provide information on training possibilities, online trainings, vacancies and partnership proposals, thus young professionals after graduating VET studies can successfully be integrated in the labour market.
