Step up. Build your career ΙΙ is a project-initiative whose main aim is to diminish the unemployment rate among young Europeans especially aged between 17 and 30 and to increase their employability level by investing directly in their capacities, following in the same to accelerate their personal development.
Taking into account this context and the fact that the unemployment problem is one at European level, and also in Romania the youngsters are most affected by this issue, the project comes as an initiative to support also the local beneficiaries by acting on needs such as:
- the development and validation of life and transversal competences,
- the need to consolidate linguistic abilities and digital competences,
- the low involvement of youth in volunteering activities or community actions,
- low information regarding opportunities for youth at local level, national and European level,
- the existence of NEET youth (either unemployed or not engaged in any form of studies).
The project “Step up. Build your career” addresses in this way themes and subjects such as youth information, youth employability, lifelong learning, sustainable development, community engagement, international relations and cooperation for development.
The objectives of the project are:
A. Creating a learning context of key-competences (socio-civic, communication and entrepreneurship) for 12 young volunteers in a period of 6 months (each)
