Training Course (5 full days) is focused on development of young peoples´ capacity and to express their competences in the job market. Our team wants to prepare youth workers to help young people to identify their competences and to be able and confident to express that to potential employers.

The main aim is to support youth workers in enabling young people to better assess and express their competences for employment purposes.

OBJECTIVES:

1. to enable youth workers to help young people to become self aware about their competencies, to show evidence of those, and to recognise spaces for further development;

2. to inspire and increase capacity of youth workers to develop activities with the focus of employability;

3. to prepare youth workers to help young people articulate, adapt and transfer the description of their competencies into different working contexts;

4. to provide/develop concrete tools for youth workers to use with their target group to work the selfawareness of competencies relevant for employability;

5. to increase competencies about assessessing impact of youth work activities towards employability.
