Avenir’ Pro aims to give vocational high school students key competences to easing their access to the labour market. The initiative is the result of a collaborative effort between France Travail, the Missions locales and the Directorate-General for School Education (DGSCO – Ministry of National Education) based on feedback from pilot projects carried out since the 2020-2021 school year. 

Social Innovators is a programme aimed at developing skills for young people in social innovation fields, enhancing their employability, and encouraging impactful projects within local communities.

The aim of the practice is to change the status of young people from NEETs (not in employment, education or training) to SEEDs (searching for education, employment and development).

The practice develops and implements an innovative and sustainable training model in green social entrepreneurship for NEETs (young people not in employment, education, or training) and other young people. Based on a 'learning by doing' approach, the trainings take place in eco-hubs – a natural environment for experiential learning. Partner organisations increase their capacity to deliver effective programmes specifically designed for NEETs, supporting the development of entrepreneurial, practical, personal, and social skills of participants. 

During this initiative, 100 young people were trained, mainly NEETs, in newly established eco-hubs of four educational eco-communities in Bulgaria, promoting their initiatives and interaction with local communities and authorities. Through practical activities, non-formal and informal training methods, the participants developed essential personal competences, practical skills, and social engagement, e.g., increased self-confidence, teamwork, competences in sustainable practices, improved mental and physical health. 

The project empowers NGOs, public, and private institutions implementing Youth Employment and Entrepreneurship Support Actions (YEEAs) to enhance their capacity for effective impact evaluation. It provides tailored tools and services to streamline the evaluation process, ensuring measurable results. Additionally, it fosters a transnational research network, strengthening the capacity of organisations engaged in or interested in impact studies.

Through research and a pilot programme in Italy, Malta, and Lithuania, the project provides with valuable insights to shape future EU policy on youth employment in the green sector.

Back on Track aims to (re)integrate young NEETs (not in employment, education, or training) in rural areas into general and vocational education as well as the labour market. The goal is to improve their basic skills and resilience, while strengthening their digital competences, to enable sustainable employment and personal development. 

A programme specifically targeting women aged 18-35 who are not in employment or engaged in education, apprenticeships, or traineeships, aiming to keep them motivated and equip them with the necessary skills to (re-) enter the labour market.

It empowered 30 unemployed and inactive young people to all take a big step towards active inclusion in the society, by getting a job, becoming a volunteer or an active jobseeker. Each of the 30 NEETs was continuously supported by two trained youth mentors.
