In spite of the European economy’s recovery, young people across Europe continue to face high levels of unemployment. To face this reality, “effective training programmes need to be accessible to all young people from across the Member States in order to ensure that they have the necessary skills to apply to a variety of positions in the EU. During these difficult economic times we need to unlock the huge potential of start-up entrepreneurs and stimulate them to take the final step and set up a new enterprise. Small enterprises are creating most new jobs and are the driving force of our economy. One of the main priorities of the EU is ensure that there are prospects for growth and provide employment to young Europeans” (EC Vice-President Antonio Tajani, Industry and Entrepreneurship, Europe Day 2011) Based on this, the YES project was designedAIMS and OBJECTIVES• 2 innovative methodologies and tools, ePROF and ePACK, focused on entrepreneurship competencies development will be transferred by IED and BETI. While ePROF bring an innovative model and assessment profile tool, ePACK brings a entrepreneurship e-learning package;• 2 target groups will be fit: (i) first, YES project will equip (transfer workshop) VET providers with methodologies, tools and competences in order to be the future entrepreneurial educators and thus speed up entrepreneurship learning among young unemployed; (ii) second, young unemployed will be the end users (national pilot) of ePROF and ePACK;• 1 European ECVET curricula for youth entrepreneur and a common guideline for it integration in existing national VET programmes will be developed;• Several dissemination and exploitation activities will be present daily at the YES project.PARTNERSHIPThe YES project consortium includes METGEM (TR) plus 6 VET partners, GoI (TR), TUGIAD (TR), ISQ (PT), IED (EL), BETI (LT) and DOCUMENTA (ES), all of whom have worked on European projects. Each partner has specific expertise in key project areas, have access to young unemployed and are involving in national and European networks relevant for YES project topic.IMPACT• We intend that ePROF and ePACK transfer workshop will directly involve 6 VET providers and that 150 VET providers will benefits indirectly;• We intend that ePROF and ePACK national pilots will directly involve 60 young unemployed and that 180 young unemployed will benefits indirectly;• We estimate that each country it will integrate ePROF and ePACK into their own VET systems, meaning that more than 3500 VET promoters can, in the next 3 years, freely use ePROF and ePACK.
