Project Summary

YOUTH-WORKNET promoted the exchange of good practices in the field of networking for young unemployed people.
By participating in several European and national projects, the consortium partners noted that traditional job placement services tend to be ineffective compared to more innovative, informal and flexible solutions such as those based on networking and training support. In particular, the partners previously involved in two projects based on the Job Club methodology have recorded a much higher success rate in terms of employment and personal activation (for example, leaving the NEET condition) compared to that deriving from the support measure. institutional. This is why YOUTH-WORKNET has promoted the exchange of a series of networking-based practices to be transferred and implemented in different contexts with similar needs.
Actively involving about 20 young people from each partner country, YOUTH-WORKNET produced a catalog of 20 successful practices from different countries, together with a critical analysis of their characteristics and operational description of transfer and implementation conditions. After a targeted training program, 25 young people and youth workers are able to manage and evaluate the exchange program, as well as to promote the personal, social and career development of their colleagues – thus becoming experienced youthworkers.
During the exchange phase, numerous practices were exchanged, but in particular the training week was interesting and had an impact on the local level that was so important that it also aroused interest in the local media. The project manager and the president of A.re.s were also invited to a television program on Italian national television (RAI).
