<< Background >>Young people in Europe today face many life challenges, none more difficult than the transition from education to employment.

Young people, particularly the most disadvantaged, not only need to be provided with skills for the labour market but more importantly with life skills and supports. These are essential to enable them to deal with the many challenges they will encounter and also the confidence to embrace the opportunities that will arise.<< Objectives >>We aimed to achieve:- to train the participants as resource persons in developing employment skills of youth from disadvantaged groups;- to improve the teaching skills of the participants - to improve the quality, attractiveness, and European dimension of activities that attract to the labor market young people from vulnerable groups; - to develop a handbook with non-formal tools dedicated to facilitating the integration of young people into the labor market, equal opportunities, and social inclusion through employment;- to increase European cooperation between youth NGOs and develop the organizational capacity.The training activities based on provided the participants with an intercultural learning process based on receiving information from experts, professional skills development, exchange of experience, and good practices.
